摘要:
A measuring apparatus is provided in one of two objects moving relatively to each other. The apparatus includes a circuit (18, 20) for effecting a direct spread modulation with respect to a transmission carrier signal (f₀) using modulation codes (MA1, MB1); an antenna unit (22, 24) for transmitting the modulated carrier signal toward the other of the two objects and for receiving a reflection wave therefrom; a circuit (30, 32) for demodulating the received reflection wave signal using the transmission carrier signal; a circuit (42, 44) for making correlation between the demodulated output signal (IF1, IF2) and a signal (MA2, MB2) having the same code as that of the modulation code and having a phase delayed by a predetermined time; a unit (46, 48) for extracting a Doppler frequency component contained in a signal which has been propagated through a propagation path existing in a specified distance range; and a circuit (60) for properly processing the extracted Doppler frequency component. By the constitution, it is possible to precisely measure a speed and/or direction angle of one object relative to the other of the two objects, without being subject to an influence by a reflection in the close neighborhood, or an influence by interference of a transmission signal or interference signal in a receiving channel of the apparatus.
