End-to-end pipeline for extracting heart rate (HR) and breathing rate (BR) from raw short-range radar I/Q captures — both continuous-wave (CW, 24 GHz clinical boards) and FMCW mmWave (60/77 GHz, TI IWR/AWR). Use when Claude needs to parse interleaved I/Q binary, do a Range FFT on FMCW chirps, remove static clutter, pick a subject range bin, extract phase with unwrapping, design HR/BR bandpass filters, pick a peak frequency via PSD, reject the HR second harmonic that often dominates the fundamental, or handle respiration-harmonic leakage on slow breathers. Not for pulse/UWB range gating, MIMO beamforming, Doppler-only gesture radar, arrhythmia detection, or multi-subject source separation.

When to use

• parsing interleaved I/Q binary
• performing Range FFT on FMCW chirps
• removing static clutter
• picking a subject range bin
• extracting phase with unwrapping
• designing HR/BR bandpass filters
• picking a peak frequency via PSD
• rejecting HR second harmonic

When not to use

• pulse/UWB range gating
• MIMO beamforming
• Doppler-only gesture radar
• arrhythmia detection
• multi-subject source separation
