Biography：Professor Jenshan Lin received Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) in 1994. He was with AT&T Bell Labs (which later became Lucent Bell Labs), Murray Hill, NJ, USA, from 1994 to 2001, and its spin-off Agere Systems from 2001 to 2003. In July 2003, he joined the University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA, where he is now a Professor. He was a Visiting Professor with National Taiwan University in the summer of 2006, a Visiting Researcher with NTT, Atsugi, Japan, during the summer of 2010, and a Visiting Chair Professor with National Sun Yat-Sen University, Taiwan, in the summer of 2012. He was appointed as an Honorary Chair Professor of National Taiwan University of Science and Technology in March 2014. Since 2006, he has graduated 20 Ph.D. students. He has authored or coauthored 255 technical publications in refereed journals and conferences proceedings, and holds 15 U.S. patents. His research interests include sensors and biomedical applications of microwave and millimeter-wave technologies, wireless energy transfer, wireless communication systems, integrated antennas, and power amplifiers.

Dr. Lin is a Fellow of IEEE. He has served on several committees in the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (IEEE MTT-S). From 2006 to 2011, he was an elected member of the IEEE MTT-S Administrative Committee (AdCom), and he served as the chair of Technical Coordinating Committee from 2010 to 2011. He was an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques from 2006 to 2010, and is now serving as its Editor-in-Chief. He was the General Chair of the 2008 RFIC Symposium, the Technical Program Chair of the 2009 Radio and Wireless Symposium, and the General Co-Chair of the 2012 Asia–Pacific Microwave Conference. He was the recipient of the 1994 UCLA Outstanding Ph.D. Award, the 1997 Eta Kappa Nu Outstanding Young Electrical Engineer Honorable Mention Award, and the 2007 IEEE MTT-S N. Walter Cox Award. He received the University of Florida Technology Innovator Awards in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2016 for technologies licensed in previous calendar year. He and his students won the 2015 Wireless Power Transfer Conference Best Paper Award and the 2015 IMWS-Bio Best Student Paper Award.

Abstract: Microwave radars have been used in many applications covering long distance (e.g., Doppler weather radar and airplane radar) to short distance (e.g., automobile radar and motion-sensing security radar). Stimulated by successful demonstrations of new system architectures and detection methods from many research groups, recently a new interest of detecting personal vital signs emerged. In the near future, personal radar integrated in smartphone might no longer be science fiction. In this talk, I will review different vital sign radars and their detection methods, and describe how the simple single-tone continuous wave (CW) radar can detect very small cardiorespiratory movements without being affected by the high 1/f noise in electronic circuits. Several examples of handheld low-power micro-radars will be presented, and recent improvements to enhance the accuracy and shorten the acquisition time in real-time measurement will be described. A nonlinear Doppler phase demodulation technique that enables simultaneous measurement of frequency and displacement of both respiration and heartbeat movements will be presented. Last but not the least, I will also discuss the various applications including emergency rescue, human and animal healthcare, biology, and biometrics.

After the above research talk, I will present a few slides showing the status and statistics of IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques (TMTT). The statistics will include average monthly submissions in the past 5 years, submissions by countries (China is currently #2 but very close to #1), first decisions, final decisions, average days from submission to first decision, and average days from submission to final decision.
