    摘要: A radar transmitter includes: a plurality of transmission antennas that transmit a transmission signal; and a transmission circuit that applies a phase rotation amount corresponding to a Doppler shift amount and a code sequence to the transmission signal to perform multiplexing transmission of the transmission signal from the plurality of transmission antennas. Each of the plurality of transmission antennas is associated with each of a plurality of combinations of the Doppler shift amount and the code sequence. Each of the plurality of combination is different at least one of the Doppler shift amount and the code sequence, and the Doppler shift amounts of those of the plurality of combinations which are associated respectively with at least two transmission antennas of the plurality of transmission antennas are the same Doppler shift amount, the at least two transmission antennas being a first sub-array antenna.

    摘要: Radar receiver calculates a first reception power in each of a predetermined number of beam directions by using a reflected wave signal in a first cell among a plurality of cells into which a region represented by at least one of a distance component and a Doppler frequency component is divided, calculates a second reception power on the basis of reception powers of reception array antennae by using the reflected wave signal in a peripheral cell of the first cell among the plurality of cells, and determines whether or not a target is present in the first cell on the basis of a comparison result between the first reception power and a first threshold value that is a value obtained by multiplying the second reception power by a first coefficient.

    摘要: A radar device employs a configuration provided with: a receiver which, in operation, receives one or more radar transmission signals transmitted from another radar device, in an interference measurement segment in which transmission of a radar transmission signal from the radar device is stopped; A/D conversion circuitry which, in operation, converts the one or more radar transmission signals from the other radar device received by the receiver from one or more analog signals into one or more digital signals; and an interference detection circuitry which, in operation, performs a correlation calculation between each of one or more discrete samples that is the one or more digital signals and a prescribed coefficient sequence to detect one or more prescribed frequency components included in the one or more digital signals, as one or more interference signal components.

    摘要: A radar device includes radar transmission and receiving circuits. The radar transmission circuit transmits one or more transmission signals, each having a transmission period Tr. The radar receiving circuit receives one or more reflected signals in which the transmission signals are reflected by an object and estimates a direction of the object based on the reflected signals. The radar transmission circuit includes Nt transmission antennas. A control circuit sets a transmission gap period between a first and second periods, with the transmission gap period being a period during which the transmission signals are not transmitted. The first period is equal to an integral multiple of a period Np, the period Np is equal to or more than Nt times the transmission period Tr, and the second period is set after the first period and is equal to an integral multiple of the period Np.
