Micro-Doppler Sensing

Technical Explanation

Beyond tracking bulk physical velocity, any moving component of a target (such as swinging arms of a pedestrian, rotating blades of a drone, or the rhythmic expansion of a human chest during breathing) introduces micro-frequency sidebands onto reflected radio waves. 6G base stations analyze these Micro-Doppler signatures using spectrograms and time-frequency transforms, enabling contactless patient respiration monitoring, fall detection in smart homes, and distinguishing birds from hostile drones.

Key Functions

• Non-invasive, contactless continuous monitoring of human breathing and heart rates
• Distinguishing birds, drones, animals, and humans based on kinematic gait signatures
• In-home elderly fall detection and gesture control without invasive cameras
• Classifying industrial machine bearing vibrations to detect impending motor failures
• High-resolution spectrogram analysis executed directly inside 6G-gNB edge processors
