A simple algorithm for respiratory activity detection in data produced by Frequency-Modulated Continuous-Wave (FMCW) radars is presented this paper. The proposed computational architecture can be directly mapped onto custom digital-analog VLSI hardware, which a unique approach research on intelligent FMCW sensor development, offering potential energy-efficient analysis solution target applications, such as preventing human trafficking or providing life-sign under limited visibility. comprises two main modules. first one summarizes radar-produced into descriptor reflecting the amount of motion that occurs within appropriately determined time intervals. second classifies sequence descriptors using recurrent neural network composed gated units. To ensure algorithm's implementation feasibility, an analog circuit comprising its functional blocks has been designed, manufactured, and tested, constraints model derivation. adverse effects primary constraint, severe restriction admissible weight resolution, have handled introducing novel training loss component mechanism diversifying effective sets different neurons. Experimental evaluation method, performed dataset indoor recordings, indicates simple, hardware implementation-friendly provides over 94% accuracy similar F1 scores.
