This article presents emulation and adverse attack scenarios for Doppler radar-based motion sensors and frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radars employed for noninvasive vital signs measurement and human presence sensing. In contrast to existing radar threat models, the proposed model is tu...
