The principle of the detecting vital signal using the base-band pulse ultra-wideband (UWB) radar is analyzed and the detecting method is verified based on the analysis. A novel base-band pulse UWB radar system in the vital signal detecting is presented. The presented transmitter can generate base-band pulse with Vp-p=2-10 V, pulse duration= 300--500 ps, pulse repetition frequency (PRF)more than 10 MHz. Taking advantage of the complementary characteristics of PNP and NPN microwave bipolar transistor, truly balanced gating pulses are generated in the radar receiver. Switching the diode bridge by the two balanced pulses, the desired signal received by the radar antenna is acquired. By using the equivalent-time sampling scheme and the maximum power density searching algorithm based on the amplitude frequency characteristic of vital signal of human, the vital signal of human is extracted by processing the recorded radar data received at the same fast time and different slow time. Experimental results show that the radar system can detect the vital signal of human in real time.
