The aim of this work is to present a circuital model to design an Ultra Wide Band radar for the monitoring of cardio-pulmonary activity. The model takes into account the signal source, the transceiver antenna properties, and the dispersive behavior of the thorax tissues. The model has been validated by comparing its results with those achieved with a commercial electromagnetic software. Finally it has been used to study the signal variations, both in air and at the antenna feed point, produced by the cardio pulmonary activity.
