1. A method of recognizing motion of a human hand, the method comprising:
- transmitting a plurality of transmit signals in respective time frames;
receiving a plurality of receive signals, at least some of the receive signals being reflected from the hand;
calculating a plurality of channel impulse responses using the transmit and receive signals, wherein the receive signals are convolutions of the transmit signals and the channel impulse responses;
defining a matrix of impulse responses, with impulse responses for adjacent time frames adjacent to each other; and
analysing the matrix for patterns corresponding to movement of the hand.
