Method of and apparatus for detecting vital functions of living bodies
First Claim
1. Apparatus for detecting vital functions of living bodies by detecting electromagnetic signals comprising a receiving device for receiving electromagnetic signals from living bodies, wherein the receiving device (3) for receiving electromagnetic signals includes a device for obtaining frequency components that are characteristic of the living bodies, out of the received electromagnetic signals, wherein the receiving device (3) includes a direct demodulator (5) that has a non-linear current/voltage characteristic that is frequency-selective for demodulation of frequency components that are characteristic of the living bodies.
