Ultra-Wideband (UWB) impulse radio monostatic Radar emerges as an attractive alternative due to its ability to perform non-invasive and highly sensitive detection of vital signs, including respiration and heart rate, through obstacles such as clothing or car seats. This paper presents a radar setup located in the seat, which propagates a UWB signal through human tissues from the back side of the driver up to the heart location. The transmitted and reflected UWB signal and antenna reflection coefficient S11 parameter are analysed to detect the heart rate for a heartbeat-induced heart model. Various UWB pulse types and their spectral characteristics are analysed to ensure efficient energy transmission within the FCC mask safety constraints. Time-domain analysis of the transmitted and received pulses reveals clear heartbeat analysis with minimal distortion, achieving accurate heart detection rates. Reflected-pulse analysis shows clear differences in amplitude between systole and diastole for normal and abnormal heart-radius conditions, allowing reliable detection of heart states. Time-of-flight and range estimation help in tracking the heart-wall movement accurately. FFT-based analysis of the time-varying S11 parameter estimates the heart rate, confirming precise non-invasive heartbeat detection through the thorax. .
