Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided image units for vital sign monitoring by a multichannel radar scanning a field-of-view and a microwave imaging radiometer sounding the field-of-view. Presence of moving targets within the field-of-view of the radar is determined on the basis of phase and/or amplitude changes of the image units between scans. Thermal information or information determined based on the thermal information obtained by the sounding is combined with the image units of the moving targets. In this way vital signs may be monitored based on movement and thermal information of the image units.
