About the BM11 Movement & Breathing Sensor
The BM11 sensor is a complete non-contact breathing detector on a small circuit board. The
sensor uses Radio Frequency, centred on 10.525 GHz, which is a license-free operating band.
The BM11 is designed to be easily incorporated into Original Equipment Manufacturers’ own
products, where the breathing rate and rhythm of a subject is required.
The key features are:
•
•
•
•
•
Small antenna horn: easy to incorporate the circuit board into another product.
Slender and enclosed circuitry: gives maximum flexibility in enclosure design.
Very low emitted power, less than home broadband router or mobile phone BlueTooth.
Non-contact: ease of use and comfort for the customer.
Very short range: the sensor is selective.
The sensor has 2 channels, I and Q, providing movement and breathing data. The sensor data is
provided as an analogue signal.
BM11 Technology Overview
The sensor module is designed to emit very low power RF waves that are reflected by a human
subject within the field of the sensor. The reflected waves received by the sensor contain
information about the motion of the human subject based on the Doppler Effect. The system
detects movement of the subject due to breathing and also due to change in position.
The sensor module translates the movement of the human subject into electrical signals. To
maximise the information obtained from the sensor, the signals are converted into two voltage
signals. These signals are referred to as the ‘I’ and ‘Q’ channels. The sensor module outputs
these two analogue voltage signals and they are presented to the OEM host device for
digitising.
There is a companion software library available, that extracts breathing, movement and
sleeping information from the sensor data. This software library can reside within the OEM
application and provide the information under the application’s control. See BiancaMed
product specification BM012_DES01 for details.

•
Note 1: If the OEM motherboard has a regulator that is dedicated to the sensor alone, then
a low loss linear regulator would be suitable as the dedicated supply. The output voltage to
the sensor should be in the region 5 to 6VDC to limit the power dissipation on the sensor
PCB. An example suitable regulator is LM78L05.
Note 2: If supplying a number of sub-assemblies (eg sensor and clock), then a switchedmode power supply can be used, but the individual sub-assemblies should be wired in “star”
formation so that noise generated on the power line by one sub-assembly does not affect
the sensor sub-assembly. If that is a possible design solution, then BiancaMed could
provide some advice on suitable SMPS and attendant circuitry. Though, the inherent
stability and isolation that a dedicated power supply provides is much preferred.

It is recommended that pins

used in this implementation,
are left unconnected. If, for
production reasons, a full 10way ribbon cable is used, then
pins 4, 5, 6, 8 & 10 should be
terminated at the host
motherboard and left floating,
not tied to ground.

Analogue to Digital
The analogue signal is to be
conversion (ADC) requirement digitised by the OEM
motherboard at a rate of 64
samples per second (sps),
with 10 to 12 bit precision.
Post ADC, the sample rate is
to be down sampled to 16 sps
by averaging.
Page 8
The 64 sps is to avoid Nyquist
aliasing on the source signal
(8Hz bandwidth). Down
sampling then reduces the
memory overhead for data
buffering by the OEM
motherboard. Example down
sampling routine is available
from BiancaMed

Module Mounting & Product Integration Considerations
•
•
•
•
The sensor module consists of a broadside pyramidal horn reflector antenna with a
planar monopole feed. The module is encased in a “hard to access” plastic housing.
Ideally, the BM11 sensor module would be positioned with no other components within
5 cm, to prevent the influence of other components on the RF tuning.
It is recommended that OEMs liaise with BiancaMed during the preliminary design of
the product enclosure to ensure the best positioning of the components within the
product. The following design guidelines should be considered:
o The antenna should not have any metallic object in its line of sight (the full cone
angle as specified above).
o There should be 5 to 10mm air gap between the mouth of the antenna and the
enclosure skin.
o The order of preference for the enclosure skin in the way of the antenna is:
 Nothing or a totally RF transparent material, eg speaker cloth.
 A planar surface of plastic.
 A curved surface of plastic, with no reinforcing ribs.
OEMs should provide BiancaMed with an example of the intended product
enclosure at the preliminary design stage. BiancaMed can then test the effects
of the enclosure design on the sensor for shift in centre frequency or beam
modification.
No moving parts with an oscillating frequency below 10 Hz should exist within the
product’s housing. Any internal movement may be detected by the BM11 sensor and
thus lead to measurement inaccuracies.
Interference from Internal Wireless Devices
Other RF devices within the enclosure have the potential to interfere with the BM11 sensor;
such effects will depend upon operating frequency, radiated power and antenna position.
BiancaMed should be consulted if it is intended to incorporate other RF devices within, or in
close proximity to the product.
Page 11
Information for OEM User Leaflet & Labeling
The following items are provided for OEMs to include in the user leaflets of products that incorporate
the BiancaMed BM11 Sensor.
The items are categorised as Mandatory and Information.
•
•
Mandatory items are required by regulatory authorities to be included in device documentation.
The Information items are for guidance and can be altered in tone and language to suit the
house style.
It is recommended that the draft device labels and user information leaflet are reviewed by BiancaMed
to ensure their accuracy and regulatory compliance.

Note for OEM:
This transmitter module is authorized to be used in other devices only by OEM further transmitter
testing will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their endproduct for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (for
example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).
The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to
install or remove this RF module in the user manual of the end product.
Information
Device Information
The non-contact sensor is a very low power Radio Frequency (RF) emitter. The RF power levels are
much less than the BlueTooth on your mobile/cell phone and a WLAN router. The sensor has a
maximum range of 1.5m and is designed to measure the breathing and body movement of an adult
within range. If there are 2 persons in the bed, the sensor is will measure the parameters of the nearer
person.
Device Placement
The product should be placed on a bedside table on the same side of the bed as the user. The height of
the bedside table should ensure that there is a clear line of sight between the sensor and your upper
chest when you are lying on the bed. This is typically a table top height of level with the mattress to
around 6” (15cm) above the mattress. Do not place the product so that it has to “look” through the
mattress at you: the springs in the mattress are likely to disrupt the RF beam. The product should be
placed on the bedside table such that it is within easy arm’s reach of your normal sleeping position.
Tips for initial setup:
•
•
•
Place the product on your bedside table as outlined above.
Angle the product so that the screen is at an easy reading angle when you are lying down, and
that the sensor (or front of the product) is aimed approximately at the top of your chest when in
your normal sleeping position.
Run the application with the live breathing display active.
Page 13
•
•
•
Lie on the bed in your normal sleeping position. After approximately 30 seconds, a breathing
rate should be displayed. Continue to breath in a normal and steady rate, the displayed
breathing rate should stabilise after approximately 1 minute.
If you move, the breathing rate display should be suspended whilst you are moving and then
return approximately 15 seconds after you cease moving. Small movements are ignored.
If you get any periods of “absent” indicated during your test, the sensor is having difficulty
locking on to you. If this happens, re-position the product so that there is a clear line of sight to
your upper chest area, and if necessary, bring the product a bit closer.
