摘要:
Methods and systems for sensing a physiological characteristic of a subject. At least one receiver antenna can be provided in proximity to a portion of the subject's body to obtain at least one receiver signal resulting from at least one transmitter signal that has propagated to the receiver antenna and has been reflected, diffracted, scattered, or transmitted by or through the portion of the subject's body. One or more coherent signal pairs can be formed. Then, amplitude and phase information of a plurality of frequency components for each signal pair can be determined. A set of comparison values can be determined for each signal pair by comparing respective frequency component phases and respective frequency component amplitudes of the signals. Physiological characteristics of the subject can then be determined from these comparison values.
