Remote detection of deception using radar vital signs monitor technology

Traditional lie detector testing requires the subject to be physically attached to a variety of sensors. This is impractical for scenarios such as checkpoints where a large number of individuals are entering at a high rate, forcing other methods to be employed. Currently, checkpoint officers must make a quick decision to determine if an individual is being deceptive, and if in turn they should be searched. The remote detection of deception (RDD) concept uses a non-contact sensor to obtain physiological information that can be used to aid the checkpoint officer's decision. Such a device must be able to sense physiological signals from the body that may indicate deception in an unobtrusive and non-contact manner.
