摘要:
An FM-CW radar detects at least one of the relative distance and the relative speed of a predetermined object based on the frequencies of projection portions observed in the frequency spectrums of beat signals in an ascending-modulation section and a descending-modulation section, where the projection portions are generated by one and the same object. The radar determines the moving speed of a predetermined moving object such as a vehicle or the like having the radar mounted thereon, and the frequency difference between the projection portions observed in the frequency spectrums of the beat signals in the ascending-modulation section and the descending-modulation section is inversely calculated, where the frequency difference corresponds to the stationary object, and a predetermined pair corresponding to the frequency difference is extracted on a priority basis.

A radar system includes a transmitting/receiving unit, having a voltage controlled oscillator, for repeatedly transmitting a triangular transmission signal including a frequency-gradually-rising up-modulation interval and a frequency-gradually-dropping down-modulation interval and for receiving a reception signal including a reflected signal from a target, a frequency analysis unit, a data storing unit for storing time-varying characteristics of input values to a D/A converter that monotonically change an oscillation frequency of the voltage controlled oscillator with time, in the form of data concerning an expression representing the time-varying characteristics, and a data processing unit for determining the input values to the D/A converter with reference to the data. At least one of the relative distance to the target and the relative speed of the target is detected based on a beat signal during the up-modulation interval and the beat signal during the down-modulation interval.

By changing the direction of a detection radio-wave beam within a detection-angle range and by detecting reflected-signal intensities, wherein each of the reflected-signal intensities is detected for each predetermined unit angle, moving averages of the reflected-signal intensities are calculated by using an angular width predetermined for a given distance as an average width. Thus, data of a reflected-signal-intensity distribution is obtained. Accordingly, the direction of a target is detected by finding the direction of the highest reflected-signal intensity.

A radar system in which a beat signal is generated by transmitting a transmission signal that is subjected to frequency modulation into a triangular wave and receiving a reflection signal from a target, the beat signal is sampled, and a window function is applied to yield a discrete frequency spectrum. When the window function is applied, a first window function having an amplitude that is gently attenuated from the center of the sampling period toward both sides thereof is applied in a lower frequency band in the frequency spectrum (at close range), and a second window function having an amplitude that is sharply attenuated from the center of the sampling period toward both sides thereof is applied in a higher frequency band in the frequency spectrum (at far range).

A radar device includes a transmission antenna and a reception antenna having a plurality of antenna elements. The radar device switches the antenna elements in synchronization with a modulation cycle, thereby obtaining a reception signal. At this time, the radar device obtains the reception signal by switching the antenna elements using a first measurement phase and a second measurement phase having different switching cycles as one set. The radar device calculates an azimuth sine value sin θ1 from the reception signal in the first measurement phase and also calculates an azimuth sinusoidal value sin θ2 from the reception signal in the second measurement phase. Then, the radar device calculates a relative velocity V from the azimuth sine value sin θ1, the azimuth sine value sin θ2, an interval time difference Δt between switching cycles, and an inter-antenna element spacing d.

摘要:
A radar apparatus includes a transmitting antenna and a receiving antenna that has a plurality of antenna elements, and switches the plurality of antenna elements in synchronization with a modulation period to acquire receiving signals. At this time, the antenna elements are switched in accordance with a combination of a first sub-phase and a second sub-phase in which the antenna elements are sequentially switched in opposite directions to thereby acquire the receiving signals. The radar apparatus calculates an azimuth sine value sin θ1 from the acquired receiving signals of the first sub-phase and calculates an azimuth sine value sin θ2 from the receiving signals of the second sub-phase. Next, the radar apparatus calculates an actual azimuth θ through an averaging process of these azimuth sine values sin θ1 and sin θ2.

A radar target detection method in which an azimuth at which a target is located is detected on the basis of reception signals obtained through antenna elements of an array antenna by detecting a change in levels of spectrum peaks in an azimuth spectrum of reception signal intensities, calculating a level of correlation between the level change of each spectrum peak and a directivity pattern of the array antenna in an azimuth range corresponding to the spectrum peak, and determining an azimuth corresponding to one of the spectrum peaks having the highest corresponding correlation level to be the azimuth at which the target is located.
