Continuous monitoring of human vital signs, such as breathing rate (BR) and heart rate (HR), is essential for the early identification and even forecasting of disorders that may have an impact on a patient's wellness. The purpose of the workshop is to introduce different methods for Vital Signs Monitoring with the emphasis of LFMCW Radar techniques and present the challenges of an integrated solution at sub mm-Waves (160GHz). First of all, the design trade-offs at system level will be presented, followed by circuit design like, LNA, PA, PLL (IQ-VCO, Frequency dividers, Charge pump), Mixers. Thereafter, different algorithms for extracting breathing rate and heart rate are discussed
