This thesis consists in the design of a new homodyne radar transceiver to be used in the context of automatic doors. The work focuses on the continuous wave mode (CW) which allows speed measurements, while the frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) – which allows range and speed measurements – was developed in a more theoretical way. The central component of this work is a new radar chip developed by Infineon (BGT24LTR22), working in the frequency band from 24GHz to 24.25GHz. It provides analog building blocks for radar applications and fea- tures two transmitting ports as well as two receiving ports. The first phase of this work concerns the antennas : three different types of patch antennas were designed with CST (either 4X1 or 3X1 arrays) with radiation patterns compatible with the automatic door market (elevation beamwidth of 60°). The EIRP was measured as 9.8dBm, 7.3dBm and 6.5dBm for the respective designs. The second phase deals with the transceiver’s architecture and its implementation on a printed circuit board, with Altium. Three different transceivers were designed, each one featuring one patch an- tenna type. The third phase includes the software development with Eclipse IDE, software which is meant to be embedded in an external acquisition board to sample the radar chip output signals. The processing of these signals with Matlab includes a Constant False Alarm Rate algorithm. Dif- ferent tests are performed on the transceivers in the CW mode. Signal-to-noise ratios of 21dB, 18dB and 16dB were respectively measured for each transceiver design. The detection of people in motion is validated with a speed resolution of 0.5km/h. Taking advantage of the MIMO configu- ration (two TX antennas and two RX antennas), it is possible to determine the angle of arrival of detected people. Only one TX antenna was used, because large transient responses were observed when switching between both. Nevertheless, with two RX antennas, we finally demonstrated the ability of the transceivers to separate people at different speeds with an angular precision of 30°, and to reject the parallel flow of people who do not wish the door to open.

Sensor technology for monitoring vital signs is an important topic for various service applications, such as entertainment and personalization platforms and Internet of Things (IoT) systems, as well as traditional medical purposes, such as disease indication judgments and predictions. Vital signs for monitoring include respiration and heart rates, body temperature, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, electrocardiogram, blood glucose concentration, brain waves, etc. Gait and walking length can also be regarded as vital signs because they can indirectly indicate human activity and status. Sensing technologies include contact sensors such as electrocardiogram (ECG), electroencephalogram (EEG), photoplethysmogram (PPG), non-contact sensors such as ballistocardiography (BCG), and invasive/non-invasive sensors for diagnoses of variations in blood characteristics or body fluids. Radar, vision, and infrared sensors can also be useful technologies for detecting vital signs from the movement of humans or organs. Signal processing, extraction, and analysis techniques are important in industrial applications along with hardware implementation techniques. Battery management and wireless power transmission technologies, the design and optimization of low-power circuits, and systems for continuous monitoring and data collection/transmission should also be considered with sensor technologies. In addition, machine-learning-based diagnostic technology can be used for extracting meaningful information from continuous monitoring data.
