The focus is on solutions that work when the subject is moving or performing everyday activities, rather than lying motionless in clinical settings. This review covers innovative biodegradable and flexible antenna designs for wearable devices operating in multiple frequency bands and supporting efficient 5G\/IoT connectivity. Particular attention is paid to ultra-wideband (UWB) radar, Doppler sensors, and microwave reflectometry combined with advanced signal-processing and deep learning algorithms for robust estimation of respiration, heart rate, and other cardiopulmonary parameters in the presence of body motion. Applications in telemedicine, home monitoring, sports, and search and rescue are discussed, including localization of people trapped under rubble by detecting their vital sign signatures at a distance. This paper also highlights key challenges such as inter-subject anatomical variability, motion artifacts, hardware miniaturization, and energy efficiency, which still limit widespread deployment. Finally, related developments in microwave imaging and early detection of pathological tissue changes are briefly outlined, highlighting the shared components and processing methods. In general, microwave techniques show strong potential for unobtrusive, continuous, and environmentally sustainable monitoring of human physiological activity, supporting future healthcare and safety systems.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s26020359","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,6]],"date-time":"2026-01-06T11:13:18Z","timestamp":1767697998000},"page":"359","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Non-Contact Measurement of Human Vital Signs in Dynamic Conditions Using Microwave Techniques: A Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-4034-4131","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marek","family":"Ostrysz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Electronics, Military University of Technology, 00-908 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3789-8489","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zenon","family":"Szczepaniak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Electronics, Military University of Technology, 00-908 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4797-7524","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tadeusz","family":"Sondej","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Electronics, Military University of Technology, 00-908 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e944913","DOI":"10.12659\/MSM.944913","article-title":"Noncontact Sensors for Vital Signs Measurement: A Narrative Review","volume":"30","author":"Choo","year":"2024","journal-title":"Med.
