In this paper, we propose a novel approach for the detection of abnormal signals from multiple respiration signals. An ultrawide-band (UWB) radar was used to acquire respiration signals that represent a distance from the chest to the radar sensor, i.e., shape variation of the chest due to breathing (inhaling or exhaling) activity provides quantitative information (distance values) about respiratory status. Distribution, shape, and variation of values across time provide information to determine respiratory status, one of the most important indicators of human health. In this paper, respiratory status was categorized into two classes, normal and abnormal. Abnormal respiration (apnea in this paper) was emulated by interrupting breathing activity because it is difficult to acquire real apnea from patients in hospital wards. This paper considered two cases, single and multiple respiration. In the first case, a single normal- or abnormal-respiration signal was used as input, and output was the classified status of respiration. In the second case, multiple respiration signals were simultaneously used as inputs, and we focused on determining the existence of abnormal signals in multiple respiration signals. In the case of multiple inputs, filters with varying cut-off frequency were applied to input signals followed by the analysis of output signals in response to the filters. To substantiate the proposed method, experiment results are provided. In this paper, classification results showed 93 % of the successful rate in the case of multiple inputs, and results are promising for applications to monitoring systems of human respiration.
