摘要： A microwave sensor for determining the velocity and direction of a moving object comprises a mixer, phase shifter, and receive/transmit antenna mounted in series, the mixer having a single intermediate frequency output. The intermediate frequency output is switched synchronously with the phase shifter which is switched between 0.degree. phase shift and 45.degree. phase shift. Although the mixer has only a single intermediate frequency output, the switching provides two output channel signals and with a phase difference of 90.degree. therebetween to enable determination of the direction of movement. The single intermediate frequency channel provides intrinsic gain matching of the output channels which eliminates the need for tuning in order to balance output channels as required in conventional sensor.

摘要： It is therefore the object of the present invention to disclose a device for power calibration of an oscillator in the high-frequency range, which has a reduced number of components and/or has less-expensive components. A method for power calibration of an oscillator is also to be disclosed, which eliminates the disadvantages of the known methods, that is, determining the output power of the oscillator via an additional, expensive component. To that end, the input (31) of the control module (40) is embodied as electrically connectable to the HF switch (comprising (22) and (24)) and the output (34) of the control module (40) is embodied as electrically connectable to the HF switch and/or to the amplifier. If the HF switch is then not acted upon by an input signal (pulse or direct voltage), but instead if the voltage is measured at the control input (30) of the HF switch, then the required controlled variable (the HF output power) is achieved, since the PIN diodes of the HF switch rectify the apply HF power and generate a proportional direct voltage.
