The main idea of the proposed modeling method. The blue color represents the systolic wave, and the red color represents the diastolic wave. (a) One-beat PPG waveform. (b) The circular motion principle. \(\omega\) is the angular velocity; it is fixed per pulse, but changes with different pulses. This figure shows how the circular motion will be used to generate a PPG waveform in a periodical manner.
