STANDARDIZATION OF LABORATORIES
5S
SORT (SEIRI)
Sort means that you remove all items from the workplace that are not
needed for current machine shop activities. This essentially involves
segregating items of immediate use from items that are not needed.
SHINE (SEISO)
Cleaning up after the work is over. Putting tools and used materials back
in their designated places, the way they were "Set in order." Cleaning and
sweeping the workplaces, so as to avoid any hazardous materials spills and
other accidents at the workplace.
STANDARDIZE (SEIKETSU)
Standardize whatever has been achieved so far using the first three
pillars. Making it a part of the daily routine and setting aside time to sort, set
in order, and shine repeatedly.
4
SUSTAIN (SHITSUKE)
Sustaining is maintaining the clean and organized work environment over a long period of
time to enhance productivity. Once the first two pillars are implemented during the
initial sessions of the laboratory, third to fifth pillars should be made a regular activity
before commencement of any laboratory work and after concluding any days work and
should be monitored. The same criteria can be adopted for any laboratory, irrespective of
the programme.

this .The seminar being an integral part of the curriculum and we would like to thank the
people who extended a helping hand in this venture.
At first I express our heartfelt thanks and deep sense of gratitude to Shri.M.
Chandrakumar, The principal of Government polytechnic College, Palakkad for

MAJOR COMPONENTS OF THE CIRCUIT
The microwave life detection system has four major components. They
are:
12
basic circuit structures of the 450-MHz and the 1150-MHz microwave life-detection
systems are quite similar and they are operated based on the same physical principle.

transmit and receive into an antenna).In microwave life detection system there are two
antennas.The antenna can perform two functions simultaneously with the help of a
circulator, which separates the radiating EM wave from the received EM wave.

wavelength transmission line, which provides very high input impedance at the end point
of the radiating dipole. Thus, this choke will stop the unbalanced current leaking to the
outer surface of the connecting cable. A parasitic element, a wire of slightly shorter than
half-wavelength, is placed next to the radiating dipole to increase the bandwidth of the
antenna. The selection of dimensions of the parasitic element was made empirically
through an experiment with a network analyzer. The whole structure of the probe antenna
is encased in rugged plastic tubing.

CLUTTER CANCELLATION OF THE RECEIVED SIGNAL:
The 1/4 of this output is amplified by a RF preamplifier (30 dB) and then mixed with a
local reference signal in a double-balanced mixer. The other 3/4 of the output is detected by
a microwave detector to provide a dc voltage, which serves as the indicator for the degree
of the clutter cancellation. When the settings of the digitally controlled phase-shifter and
attenuator are swept by the microprocessor control system, the output of the microwave
detector varies accordingly. The minimum detector reading corresponds to the right
settings for the digitally controlled phase-shifter and attenuator. These settings will be fixed
for subsequent measurements.
The algorithm and flowcharts for the antenna system and the clutter cancellation system
are as follows:
ANTENNA SYSTEM:
1. Initially the switch is kept in position 1 (signal is transmitted through the antenna1.
3. Then the switch is thrown to position 2 (signal is received through the Antenna 2)
4. Otherwise send the correction signal to the digitally controlled phase shifter 1 and
attenuator and go to step 1.
6. Otherwise send the correction signal to the digitally controlled phase shifter 2 to
change the phase and go to step 1.

DEMODULATION OF THE CLUTTER CANCELLED SIGNAL:
At the double balanced mixer, the amplified signal of the reflected wave from the
person’s body is mixed with the local reference signal.
The phase of the local reference signal is controlled by another digitally
controlled phase shifter 2 for an optimal output from the mixer.
The output of the mixer consists of the breathing and heartbeat signals of the
human plus some avoidable noise.
This output is fed through a low frequency amplifier and a band pass filter (0.4
Hz) before displayed on the monitor.
The function of the digitally controlled phase shifter 2 is to control the phase of
the local reference signal for the purpose of increasing the system sensitivity.
The reflected signal from the person’s body after amplification by the pre-
amplifier is mixed with the local reference signal in a double balanced mixer.
The output of the mixer consists of the breathing and heartbeat signals of the
human subject plus unavoidable noise.
This output is fed through a low-frequency (LF) amplifier (20–40 dB) and a band
pass filter (0.1–4 Hz) before being displayed on the monitor of a laptop computer.
SYSTEM SENSITIVITY:
The function of a digitally controlled phase-shifter (0 – 180 )installed in front of the local
reference signal port of the double balanced mixer to control the phase of the local
reference signal for the purpose of increasing the system sensitivity is explained below.
As mentioned before, the reflected signal from the human subject after amplification by
the preamplifier is mixed with the local reference signal in the double-balanced-mixer.
The local reference signal is assumed to be ALcos(wt+θL) where AL and θL are the
amplitude and the phase, respectively. While the other input to the mixer, the
23
the time. When these two inputs are mixed in the double-balanced mixer, the output of
the mixer will be;ALARcos(θL-θE-∆θ(t)).
From this expression of the mixer output, it is easy to see that If ; (θL-
θE)=(n+1/2)π,n=0,1,2…….
the system has a maximum sensitivity; (1) and if ; (θL-θE)=±nπ,n=0,1,2…….
the system has a minimum sensitivity (2), ∆θ(t)) is usually a small phase angle
perturbation created by the body movement of the human subject.θE is the constant phase
associated with the reflected signal from the human subject and it cannot be changed.θ L is
the phase of the local reference signal and it can be controlled by the digitally controlled
phase shifter(0– 180).In the operation,the phase-shifter will automatically shift θL in such
a way that(θL-θE) is nearly (n+1/2)π to attain a maximum system sensitivity.
EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
24
Fig. 9.1 shows the heartbeat signals created by the artificial
heart and measured by reflector antenna A and reflector antenna B which were placed 7 ft
directly above the target. The time-domain results of both antennas show the heartbeat
signals contaminated by a large noise. Their FFT results also show the presence of a
strong noise with spread frequencies. However, when these two sets of signals were cross
correlated, a distinctive peak of the heartbeat signal at 0.8 Hz appeared. A second
distinctive peak at 1.6 Hz is the second harmonic of the heartbeat signal. It is also
observed that the noise measured by both antennas was drastically reduced. From this
cross-correlated result, the heartbeat signal was clearly detected.
Fig. 9.2 Heartbeat signals measured by a reflector antenna and a probe antenna. Both
time-domain and FFT results are shown. The cross-correlation result of the two sets of
results shows the heartbeat frequency and its second harmonic. The 1150-MHz life-
detection system was used.
25
Fig 9.3. Heartbeat signals measured by two reflector antennas while a human operator
was walking near the rubble. Both time-domain and FFT results are shown. The cross-
correlation result of the two sets of results shows the heartbeat frequency and its
harmonic, while the interference signal created by the operator nearly disappear. The
1150-MHz life-detection system was used.
Fig. 9.3 shows the heartbeat signals measured by reflector antenna A and reflector
antenna B both placed 7 ft above the target when a human operator was walking near the
rubble, about 20 ft from the antenna. The walking human subject created a large
interference signal in the outputs of antenna A and antenna B showing both in their time-
domain results and the FFT results. When those two sets of signals were cross correlated,
the heartbeat signal of 0.8 Hz and its second harmonic of 1.6 Hz appeared while the
interference signal nearly disappeared. From this result, we can conclude that the dual-
antenna system of the 1150-MHz can be used to reduce the interference noise created by
the system operators moving near the rubble as well as the background noise.
