Title: Practice of RF Sensing for Digital Health

Abstract: The radio frequency (RF) sensing is an evolving technique in the field of digital health. It can provide seamless monitoring capability while minimize the privacy invasion issue. This talk will explore the innovative ways in which devices like software defined radio (SDR) and WiFi network interference card (NIC), are being harnessed for various sensing function, including Doppler-based human sensing, passive indoor localization and angle finding by phased-array radar. They will be demonstrated with real-world experimental results, and challenges will also be discussed.
