摘要:
The invention intends to provide a sensor module suitable for miniaturization and reduction in costs, in the radar sensor that uses a millimeter or sub-millimeter wave signal of which frequency is more than 20 GHz. To accomplish this problem, the radar sensor is integrated into a one chip MMIC, in which an active circuit including an oscillator and a mixer is formed with an antenna on one semiconductor substrate. Further, the MMIC is sealed with a resin package. A dielectric lens is formed on the resin package over the antenna to attain a desired beamwidth. Thereby, the lens and the resin package can integrally be formed by a metal mold, thus reducing the cost.

An electromagnetic wave propagation medium 1 extends in the propagation direction of an electromagnetic wave and has an electromagnetic wave propagation space sandwiched between conductors in the direction perpendicular to the electromagnetic wave propagation direction. A base unit 2 and multiple terminals 3 are placed on the electromagnetic wave propagation medium 1. When the position of a terminal 3 is detected, the base unit 2 transmits a position detection signal through the electromagnetic wave propagation medium 1 to the terminal 3. This position detection signal is attenuated more heavily during its propagation through the electromagnetic wave propagation medium 1 than a communication signal for use in normal communication is. The signal strength of the position detection signal drops as it moves away from the base unit 2. Hence the position of each terminal 3 can be detected based on the signal strength of the position detection signal received by each terminal 3.

A wireless power transmission system includes a receiver and a transmitter. The transmitter includes: a power transmission unit that transmits power; a power adjustment unit that adjusts power to be transmitted; and a communication unit. The receiver includes: a power receiving unit that receives power; a power detection unit that detects the received power; a power storage unit that stores the received power; and a communication unit. The power to be transmitted is adjusted on the basis of power transmission efficiency and the remaining energy storage level. The power transmission efficiency is the ratio between the transmitted power and the received power.

When a microstrip line is connected with a waveguide, there is a limit to reducing the connection loss by using only a matching box. We have discovered that in a transmission mode line transducer for converting between the TEM waves of the microstrip line and the TE01 waves of the waveguide, if the cross-sections of the microstrip line and the waveguide are substantially the same size, in the case of a 50Ω microstrip line when the characteristic impedance of the waveguide is about 80%, i.e., 40Ω, the line conversion loss can be optimized. Therefore, according to the present invention, the microstrip line is connected with the waveguide using a λ/4 matching box by means of a ridged waveguide having a low impedance and a length of λ/16 or less.

There is provided a highly accurate velocity sensor having a reduced detection error. A sensor circuit unit generates an electromagnetic wave and emits it from a transmission antenna. Furthermore, a reception antenna receives a reflection wave from the ground and a mixer mixes it with a local signal, thereby generating a low-frequency signal. The electromagnetic wave emitted from the sensor circuit unit shapes a beam by a dielectric lens before emitting it toward the ground. Here, the beam shape is such that the beam width in the vicinity of the sensor is smaller than the beam width in the vicinity of the ground.
