Contact medical devices enable reliable respiratory monitoring, but can cause discomfort and are limited in some settings. Radar offers a noncontact respiration measurement method for continuous, real-time, high-precision monitoring. However, it is difficult for a single radar to characterize the coordination of chest and abdominal movements during measured breathing. Moreover, motion interference during prolonged measurements can seriously affect accuracy. This study proposes a dual radar system with customized narrow-beam antennas and signals to measure the chest and abdomen separately, and an adaptive dynamic time warping (DTW) algorithm is used to effectively suppress motion interference. The system is capable of reconstructing respiratory waveforms of the chest and abdomen, and robustly extracting various respiratory parameters via motion interference. Experiments on 35 healthy subjects, 2 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and 1 patient with heart failure showed a high correlation between radar and respiratory belt signals, with correlation coefficients of 0.92 for both the chest and abdomen, a root mean square error of 0.80 bpm for the respiratory rate, and a mean absolute error of 3.4\u00b0 for the thoracoabdominal phase angle. This system provides a noncontact method for prolonged respiratory monitoring, measurement of chest and abdominal asynchrony and apnea detection, showing promise for applications in respiratory disorder detection and home monitoring.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/bios15080486","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,28]],"date-time":"2025-07-28T09:53:02Z","timestamp":1753696382000},"page":"486","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Noncontact Breathing Pattern Monitoring Using a 120 GHz Dual Radar System with Motion Interference Suppression"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-4288-4129","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zihan","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics and Information Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing 100191, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yinzhe","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics and Information Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing 100191, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2103-451X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hao","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics and Information Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing 100191, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jing","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Emergency Department, State Key Laboratory of Complex Severe and Rare Diseases, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Science and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing 100730, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0006-7590","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anyong","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics and Information Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing 100191, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Emergency Department, State Key Laboratory of Complex Severe and Rare Diseases, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Science and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing 100730, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8758-3146","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaodong","family":"Zhuge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics and Information Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing 100191, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8772-7602","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jungang","family":"Miao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics and Information Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing 100191, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2100","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(24)00367-2","article-title":"Global Burden of 288 Causes of Death and Life Expectancy Decomposition in 204 Countries and Territories and 811 Subnational Locations, 1990\u20132021: A Systematic Analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021","volume":"403","author":"Naghavi","year":"2024","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"329","DOI":"10.1080\/09593985.2017.1400139","article-title":"Breathing Pattern Recordings Using Respiratory Inductive Plethysmography, before and after a Physiotherapy Breathing Retraining Program for Asthma: A Case Report","volume":"34","author":"Tehrany","year":"2018","journal-title":"Physiother.
