Wireless sensing offers an alternative to wearables for contactless monitoring of human activity and vital signs. However, most existing systems use bistatic setups, which suffer from phase imperfections due to unsynchronized clocks. Monostatic systems overcome this issue, but are hindered by strong self-interference (SI) that requires effective cancellation. We present a monostatic Wi-Fi sensing system that uses an auxiliary transmit RF chain to achieve SI cancellation levels of 40 dB, comparable to existing solutions with custom cancellation hardware. We demonstrate that the cancellation filter weights, fine-tuned using least mean squares, can be directly repurposed for target sensing. Moreover, we achieve stable SI cancellation over 30 minutes in an office environment without fine-tuning, enabling traditional vital sign monitoring using channel estimates derived from baseband samples without the adaptation of the cancellation affecting the sensing channel – a significant limitation in prior work. Experimental results confirm the detection of small, slow-moving targets, representative for breathing chest movements, at distances up to 10 meters in non-line-of-sight conditions.
