In the past decades, continuous Doppler radar sensor-based biosignal detections have attracted many research interests. A typical example is the Doppler heartbeat detection. While significant progresses have been achieved, reliable, time-domain accurate demodulation of biosignals in the presence of unavoidable direct current (dc) offsets remains a technical challenge. Aiming to overcome this difficulty, we propose in this article a novel demodulation algorithm that does not need to trace and eliminate dynamic dc offsets based on approximating segmented arcs in a quadrature constellation of sampling data to directional chords. Assisted by the principal component analysis, such chords and their directions can be deterministically determined. Simulations and experimental validations showed full recovery of micrometer-level pendulum movements and strongly noised human heartbeats, verifying the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed approach.
