Abstract

This paper presents the Received-Signal-Strength-Indicator (RSSI) based living-body radar, which uses only a single RF front-end and a few parasitic antennas. This radar measures the RSSI variation at the single active antenna while varying the terminations of the parasitic antennas. The propagation channel is estimated from just the temporal transition of RSSI; our proposal reconstructs the phase information of the signal. In this paper, we aim to estimate the direction of living-body. Experiments are carried out and it is found that most angular errors are within the limit of the angular width of the living-body.
