摘要： A radar device (2) includes plural transmission antennas and plural reception antennas. The reception antennas constitute a reception-side antenna portion (20) and are arranged at an interval of d. The transmission antennas constitute a transmission-side antenna portion (18) and are arranged at an interval of d′=d×(n−1). The path length at which the electric wave is reflected from a target is identical between channels A9 and B1, and seventeen kinds of channels (A1 to A8, A9 or B1, B2 to B9) which are different in path length by every fixed distance are achieved. The data of the channels (A1 to A9 and B1 to B9) using different transmission antennas are respectively collected in different measuring cycles, and an error based on the time difference between the measuring cycles is corrected on the basis of a correction value calculated from the data of the channels A9, B1.

摘要： In a system, a frequency-modulating unit is configured to frequency-modulate a radar wave signal within a predetermined frequency modulation range from bottom to top so that a frequency of the frequency-modulated radar wave changes in time. The rate of frequency change of the radar wave signal in time is set to F0/Tf. The F0 represents a center frequency in the frequency modulation range. The Tf represents the predetermined constant time. A mixing unit is configured to mix the transmitted frequency-modulated radar wave signal and the reflection signal to obtain a beat signal. The beat signal is based on a frequency difference between a frequency of the transmitted radar wave signal and that of the reflection signal. A sweeping unit is configured to sweep the beat signal within the frequency modulation range from one of the bottom and the top to the other thereof to obtain a frequency component of the beat signal. An obtaining unit is configured to obtain the prediction distance based on a relationship between the frequency component of the beat signal and the prediction distance.

摘要： Beat signals of respective receiver channels CH1 and CH2, produced by mixing their receiving signals with a transmission signal, are subjected to Fourier transformation to detect the frequency and phase of peak frequency components in both an ascending-section where the frequency of the transmission increases and a descending-section where the frequency of the transmission decreases. Based on peak frequency components derived from the same target, phase differences .DELTA..phi.u(i) and .DELTA..phi.d(j) between receiver channels CH1 and CH2 in the ascending- and descending-sections (steps 210-230). Relative relationship between the transmission signal and the receiving signal is judged based on the signs of the phase differences. Respective peak frequencies fu(i) and fd(j), detected as absolute values of frequency differences between the transmission signal and the receiving signal, are given sings in accordance with the judgement result. Then, the distance D and relative velocity V of the target are calculated (steps 240-260).

摘要： In an FM-CW radar system, a beat signal is frequency-analyzed for selecting ascending-side beat frequencies and descending-side beat frequencies for a plurality of targets. By pairing the ascending-side and descending-side beat frequencies one by one from each side, all possible combinations thereof are prepared. Based on these beat frequency combinations, beat frequency combinations after a given time are predicted, respectively. If an ascending-side beat frequency and a descending-side beat frequency of the predicted beat frequency combination are found in ascending-side beat frequencies and descending-side beat frequencies of a beat signal selected after the given time, respectively, or in the neighborhood of them, respectively, the predicted beat frequency combination of the found ascending-side and descending-side beat frequencies is set as a correct beat frequency combination. A further correct beat frequency combination/combinations can be set in the same manner. Based on these correct beat frequency combinations, information about the targets can be correctly achieved.

摘要： A radar apparatus is provided which includes a transmitter, a receiver, and a signal processor. The transmitter produces a transmit signal which is so modulated in frequency as to change with time cyclically and transmits the transmit signal as a radar wave. The receiver selectively establishes communication with one of receiving antennas and changes the communications with the receiving antennas in sequence in a cycle shorter than a cycle of a change in the frequency of the transmit signal to supply a series of signal components of input signals produced by the receiving antennas. The receiver mixes the series of signal components with a local signal having the same frequency as that of the transmit signal to produce a beat signal. The signal processor samples the beat signal to analyze frequency components thereof to determine the distance to, relative speed and azimuth of a target. These arrangements result in simplicity of the whole structure of the radar apparatus, thereby allowing radar information about the target to be obtained accurately by the compact structure.
