    摘要: A pulse radar device includes a rectangular signal generating section for generating a rectangular signal that is a reference signal; a transmit timing voltage setting section for setting a voltage value for determining a transmit timing; a transmit pulse generating section for generating a transmit pulse based on the rectangular signal and the voltage value; a receive section for receiving a reflection wave obtained by reflecting the electric wave transmitted by the transmit section by a plurality of objects; a receive saw-tooth wave generating section for generating a saw-tooth wave in synchronism with the transmit pulse; a receive signal sample hold section for sample-holding the receive signal based on the outputs from the saw-tooth wave and the rectangular signal; and a detecting and distance measuring section for detecting the objects and measuring a distance to the objects based on the sample/hold output.

    摘要: The pulse center detector (PCD) produces an amplitude-independent center-triggered range output for precision radar rangefinders and TDR systems. Pulse center triggering is accomplished by triggering leading-edge and trailing-edge detectors and summing the outputs to produce a computed center-triggered result. Since the occurrence time of a pulse center does not vary with amplitude, the PCD is amplitude-independent. The PCD overcomes limitations of prior automatic pulse detectors, such as the inherent latency of a constant fraction discriminator (CFD) and the uncertainty of a time-of-peak (TOP) detector. The PCD can be implemented with a single analog componentnulla comparatornulland thus requires appreciably fewer analog components than prior automatic detectors while providing lower jitter. Applications include radar and TDR tank gauges, and radar rangefinders for robotics and automotive applications.

    摘要: There is disclosed a range finder operating on the principle of finding the range of an object by measuring the time between transmission of a pulse towards an object and the reception of the reflected pulse. Errors in the range measurement caused by the different half-rise times of reflected pulses of different amplitudes are avoided by using only a reflected pulse of a predetermined constant magnitude as a measuring pulse for range determination. The desired magnitude of the measuring pulse is obtained by altering the power of the transmitter and/or by changing the amplification of the receiver. The use of pulsed laser range finders operating in the infra-red region of the spectrum is referred to for generating pulses as well as other sources of pulsed energy.
