Abstract

A sensor includes: a transmission signal generator including N transmission antenna elements that respectively transmit N transmission signals to a predetermined range in which a living body is possibly present, where N is a natural number greater than or equal to 3; a receiver including M reception antenna elements that respectively receive N reception signals including one or more reflected signals, where M is a natural number greater than or equal to 3, the one or more reflected signals being one or more of the N transmission signals transmitted by the N transmission antenna elements that is reflected or scattered by the living body; circuitry; and memory. The circuitry estimates traveling of the living body, and/or the posture and/or action of the living body at the position of the living body.
