This paper proposes to remotely estimate a human subject's blood pressure using a millimeter-wave radar system. High blood pressure is a critical health threat that can lead to diseases including heart attacks, strokes, kidney disease, and vision loss. The commonest method of measuring blood pressure is based on a cuff that is contact-based, non-continuous, and cumbersome to wear.

To improve estimation accuracy, received signals from multiple FMCW MIMO radars are collected at the data fusion center and processed coherently, which increases data communication overhead and implementation complexity. To resolve them, we propose the distributed 2D MUSIC algorithm with coordinate transformation, in which 2D MUSIC algorithm is operated with respect to the reference radar's coordinate at each radar in a distributed way.
