Claim:
1. A monitoring system for assessing one or more patients, comprising: a pulse generator configured to generate ultra-wideband pulses; an ultra-wideband transceiver for transmitting the ultra-wideband pulses toward the one or more patients and receiving ultra-wideband signals from the one or more patients, wherein the ultra-wideband pulses have a Nyquist sampling rate; a sampler for sampling the ultra-wideband signals at a sample rate less than the Nyquist sampling rate; and a processor in communication with the sampler, wherein the processor is configured to monitor one or more biological functions in a non-isolated and time variant environment and to reconstruct a breathing waveform from the ultra-wideband signals based on an agnostic Bayesian matching pursuit algorithm.
