Learning to Assess Heartbeat Observability for mmWave Heart-Rate Sensing

The paper presents HEAR, a dual‑task Transformer that learns to assess heartbeat observability from mmWave radar phase spectra and simultaneously estimates heart rate. Using a controllable FMCW simulator, the authors generate labeled data where observability is defined by the agreement between the dominant heartbeat‑band peak and the known heart rate. Trained only on simulated data, HEAR transfers zero‑shot to real‑world datasets at 60 and 120 GHz, enabling selective heart‑rate estimation that dramatically reduces error and achieves sub‑50 ms latency on edge hardware.

On Learning Spatial Structure from Pre-Beamforming Per-Antenna Range-Doppler Radar Measurements

This study explores whether spatial structure can be learned directly from pre-beamforming per-antenna range-Doppler (RD) radar measurements, bypassing traditional beamforming steps. Using a 6‑TX × 8‑RX automotive radar with a chirp‑sequence FMCW transmit scheme, the authors train a dual‑chirp shared‑weight encoder on raw RD tensors and evaluate spatial recoverability via bird’s‑eye‑view occupancy maps. Experiments across different transmit configurations (A‑only, B‑only, A+B) and receive apertures demonstrate that meaningful spatial structure is indeed recoverable through learned spatial mixing, without hand‑crafted signal‑processing stages.
