SENSOR, ESTIMATION METHOD, AND SENSOR SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240118407 titled 'SENSOR, ESTIMATION METHOD, AND SENSOR SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a sensor that receives reception signals, including reflection signals reflected by a living body. It extracts a living-body component transfer function matrix from complex transfer functions obtained from recording reception signals in time series and estimating complex transfer functions in a second period. The sensor outputs a position where a spectrum function indicates a likelihood of a living body presence using a correlation matrix and a steering vector.

  • Living-body component transfer function matrix extracted from complex transfer functions
  • Position output based on spectrum function indicating likelihood of living body presence

Original Abstract Submitted

a sensor receives m reception signals including reflection signals reflected by a living body; extracts a living-body component transfer function matrix from first complex transfer functions and second complex transfer functions, the first complex transfer functions being obtained by recording an m�n complex transfer function matrix including complex transfer functions in time series, from m reception signals, the complex transfer functions each indicating characteristics of propagation between a corresponding one of transmission antenna elements and a corresponding one of reception antenna elements, the second complex transfer functions being obtained by estimating and recording m�n complex transfer functions in a second period, and outputting a position at which a spectrum function indicating a likelihood that a living body is present indicates a local maximum value, using a correlation matrix based on the living-body component complex transfer function matrix and a steering vector corresponding to each of measurement-target regions.
