Radiation monitoring of body part sizing and use of such sizing for person monitoring
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a first array of radiating antennas;
a second array of receiving antennas; and
a controller, which receives information from said second array, indicative of characteristics of an individual passing between said first array and said second array, and uses said characteristics to form a profile of characteristics of said individual.

Abstract
A person monitoring system that may determine personal characteristics and compare them to other characteristics without necessarily recognizing a specific individual corresponding to those characteristics. An embodiment may use a first array of focused microwave transmitting antennas driven by a microwave transmitting electronics, producing microwave signals for the first array. A second array of focused microwave receiving antennas may have each antenna of said second array being focused and pointed to receive a microwave transmission from a specific antenna of the first array. A controller determines pixels of the sillouette of the monitored subject, as pixels from the microwave antennas. Parameters of human body shape are determined, and used as a profile that can be monitored.

a first array of focused microwave transmitting antennas;
a microwave transmitting electronics, producing microwave signals for the first array;
a second array of focused microwave receiving antennas, each antenna of said second array being focused and pointed to receive a microwave transmission from a specific antenna of the first array; and
a control part, determining which elements of the second array have received transmissions, and determining parameters of human body shape based on which specific antennas of the array have been blocked, and forming a data file indicative of said parameters of human body shape. - View Dependent Claims (22)
