Abstract
A heartbeat measuring apparatus includes a receiver that receives a millimeter wave signal reflected by a user; an identifier that identifies a plurality of characteristic points of the received millimeter wave signal in time series, the characteristic points including a local maximum point, a local minimum point, and an inflection point; a memory that stores a heartbeat characteristic point pattern indicating a first arrangement order of a first inflection point following a first local maximum point, a first local minimum point following the first inflection point, a second inflection point following the first local minimum point, and a second local maximum point following the second inflection point; an acquirer that acquires, from among the identified characteristic points, a first characteristic point set including first characteristic points that are arranged in an order identical to the first arrangement order; and an outputter that outputs heartbeat information on the user.
