Abstract Radar was associated with military industries in earlier centuries. This
day’s several industries, like automobile, mining, medical, etc., are also using radars.
It is becoming very popular for contact less bio-medical investigation on human
body, because of its less microwave energy radiation over short distance. Contin-
uous monitoring of cardio respiratory activity, breast tumor diagnostics, imaging of
blood circulation are few immerging areas of research in bio-medical applications.
Continuous wave, frequency modulated, ultra-wideband, these are few popular radars
which researcher start implementing in bio-medical application. Now recent radar
topologies, mainly advance antenna technologies, like MIMO, array and Phased
MIMO radar are also becoming very popular in medical applications because of
effective performance ability in low signal-to-noise ratio environment. On the other
hand, advance computational techniques like soft computing is also becoming part
of the modern radar which can improve noise performance Doppler tolerance in
bio-medical application.
