Portable Radar for Noncontact Heart Rate Monitoring and Estrus Detection in Dairy Cows
IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, EarlyView.This study introduces a portable radar system for real‐time monitoring of respiratory and heart rates in dairy cows. It uses millimeter‐wave Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar to perform noncontact physiological sensing, reducing behavioral disturbance. The radar system's design prioritizes portability, cost‐effectiveness, and robustness,
