Abstract
A method for remotely sensing cardiac-related data of an animal subject includes transmitting a RF signal to impinge on tissue of the subject, receiving a reflected portion of the RF signal, generating baseband data, filtering baseband data (e.g., including high pass filtering), performing waveform phase position determination, performing at least one auto-correlation of the waveform phase position determined data, determining periodicity of the auto-correlated data, and (i) computing heart rate using a maximum periodicity of the periodicity, or (ii) identifying abnormalities in cardiac function, such as may be indicated by temporal variations in heart rate and/or signal amplitude corresponding to cardiac activity. Multiple bandpass filtering schemes may be employed.
