    摘要: In a radar device, a reception antenna directly receives a chirp signal transmitted by a transmission antenna of a module other than a module to which the reception antenna belongs among a plurality of modules, a mixer generates a baseband signal by mixing a chirp signal generated by a chirp signal source and a chirp signal received by the reception antenna, and an analog-to-digital converter generates a digital signal by digital-converting the baseband signal generated by the mixer.

    摘要: In a case where signals branched from a single reference signal source are transmitted via a plurality of cables, a phase synchronization circuit can be used to stabilize a phase of a signal to be outputted from each cable. However, the phases of signal to be outputted from each cable is affected by combination of a length of each cable and an amount of delay caused by feedback control, so that phases of synchronization signals to be outputted from a plurality of transmission paths are not always the same as each other. In the present invention, since a frequency multiplier that multiplies a frequency of a signal outputted from each transmission path by an even number is provided for a phase synchronization circuit, the phases of the synchronization signals to be outputted from the transmission paths are aligned even when signals are branched from one reference signal.

    摘要: A lock detection circuit is configured to include an integrating circuit that integrates a phase difference between a frequency-divided signal of a VCO and a reference signal during a constant period within a transient response period for an output signal from the VCO, and integrates a phase difference between the frequency-divided signal and the reference signal during a constant period within a convergence period for the output signal from the VCO; and a degree-of-convergence calculating circuit that calculates a degree at which the output signal from the VCO has converged, from a result of the integration of the phase difference obtained by the integrating circuit during the constant period within the transient response period and a result of the integration of the phase difference obtained by the integrating circuit during the constant period within the convergence period.
