摘要： A dummy target is set in a direction which is the same direction as that of a detected target and at the position whose distance is double that of the detected target; a second-order wave target detection area is set in the predetermined area including the position of the dummy target; the target detected in the second-order wave target detection area is judged as being a second-order wave target; a interpolated target is set in the direction which is the same as that of the second-order wave target, and at the position whose distance is half that of the second-order wave target; a fundamental wave target detection region is set in the predetermined area including the position of the interpolated target; and the interpolated target is outputted as a fundamental wave target in the case where no fundamental wave target is detected in the fundamental wave target detection region. Even if the fundamental wave target to be detected is undetected within a close range, data on the fundamental wave target is estimated and outputted on the basis of the interpolated target calculated from the second-order wave target which continues being detected, as described above. This makes it possible to continue detecting the fundamental wave target without interruption. Accordingly, it is possible to provide an object detection method which enables an object in a close range to be detected securely by a radar device.

摘要： In a radar apparatus, a signal processor successively selects outputs of a plurality of receiving channels at time intervals and repeat, at a sampling cycle, a sequence of the successive selections of the outputs of the plurality of receiving channels, thus sampling values of a beat signal. The signal processor changes a value of the time interval for a current sequence of the successive selections of the outputs of the plurality of receiving channels so that the value of the time interval for the current sequence of the successive selections of the outputs of the plurality of receiving channels is different from a value of the time interval for a previous sequence of the successive selections of the outputs of the plurality of receiving channels.

摘要： A system and method for space control and remote monitoring is disclosed. According to one embodiment, a frequency modulated signal is emitted from a radioscopic device having an antenna. The frequency of the reflected signal from a target is compared with the emitted frequency modulated signal to obtain a low-frequency signal. The low-frequency signal is processed to form signal pulsations spectrum using a fast Fourier transform. Each spectrum frequency represents a distance to the target.

摘要： In order to prevent delays in output of detection results, even when a plurality of frequency modulation methods with different frequency change rates are used, an FM-CW radar device employing frequency modulation with two different frequency change rates, has distance/velocity detection unit for detecting the relative distance or relative velocity of a target object based on beat signals of transmission signals with the same frequency change rate and for detecting the relative distance or relative velocity using beat signals when the frequency change rates are different, and distance/velocity confirmation unit for adding evaluation values for relative distances or relative velocities detected in the detection processing, and for confirming the relative distance or relative velocity based on the evaluation value which has reached a criterion value. As a result, more data can be obtained in one detection cycle, and the same advantageous results as when executing a plurality of detection cycles can be obtained. Consequently, delay of output of detection results from the radar device to a vehicle control device can be prevented.

摘要： In operating a radar sensor, a modulation sequence having a number n of successive linear frequency ramps having different slopes an is cyclically repeated. A received radar signal reflected from an object is mixed with the emitted radar signal to form an intermediate frequency signal, which is analyzed for each frequency ramp with respect to its frequency spectrum. Peaks occurring in the frequency spectra of the intermediate frequency signal correspond to ambiguity lines in a distance/velocity space. Possible objects are assumed at intersection points of the ambiguity lines. The expected position which the possible objects would have at the point in time of the repetition of the modulation sequence is precalculated. The slope an of at least one of the frequency ramps is established for a subsequent modulation sequence in such a way that none of the expected positions of a possible object in the distance/velocity space is at an intersection point of precalculated ambiguity lines of the other possible objects.
