    摘要: According to an aspect, there is provided a method of measuring a physiological characteristic of a subject, the method comprising obtaining a set of RF signal measurements for RF signals transmitted into a part of a body of the subject, wherein a RF signal is transmitted sequentially from each of a plurality of transmitting positions with respect to the body of the subject, and wherein each transmitted RF signal is received at a plurality of receiving positions with respect to the body of the subject, wherein each RF signal measurement is based on a comparison of a phase and/or amplitude of each received RF signal to a phase and/or amplitude of the corresponding transmitted RF signal, wherein the set of RF signal measurements comprises a respective subset of RF signal measurements for each transmitted RF signal, wherein the RF signal measurements in a subset correspond to the RF signal measurements for the RF signals received at each of the plurality of receiving positions; applying, by a control unit, a set of time delays, a set of receiver beam steering parameters and a set of transmitter beam steering parameters to the set of RF signal measurements to form a virtual steered beam, wherein the set of time delays comprises a time delay for each subset, wherein each time delay is based on a timing of the transmission of the respective transmitted RF signal; wherein the set of receiver beam steering parameters comprises respective phase and/or amplitude adjustments to be applied to the RF signal measurements in a subset to effect the focusing of a beam formed from the received RF signals for the subset at a measurement position in the body of the subject, and wherein the set of transmitter beam steering parameters comprises respective phase and/or amplitude adjustments to be applied to the subsets to correspond to the focusing of a beam formed from the transmitted RF signals at a measurement position in the body of the subject; and determining, by a control unit, a measurement of the physiological characteristic of the subject from the virtual steered beam.

    摘要: There is provided a method and apparatus for determining respiratory information for a subject. One or more physiological signals indicative of at least one physiological characteristic of the subject is acquired (202) and contextual information relating to at least one of the subject and the one or more physiological signals is obtained (204). Based on the contextual information, at least one signal processing algorithm for each of the one or more physiological signals is selected (206), the at least one signal processing algorithm being adapted to determine respiratory information. Respiratory information for the subject is determined based on the one or more physiological signals using the at least one signal processing algorithm selected for the one or more physiological signals (208).
