Abstract
A mm-wave system includes transmission of a millimeter wave (mm-wave) signal by a plurality of transmitters to multiple objects, and receiving of return-mm-wave signals from the multiple objects by a plurality of receivers. A processor is configured to perform an algorithm to derive complex-valued samples and angle measurements from each receiver to identify one object from another object. The processor further extracts signal waveforms that correspond to each object and process the extracted signal waveforms to estimate breathing rate and heart rate of the identified object.
