Publication number: 20150268336Abstract: An antenna apparatus includes a substrate, a first antenna, and a second antenna. The substrate includes two or more pattern-forming layers which are layered via at least one insulating layer. The two or more pattern-forming layers include a first pattern-forming layer and a second pattern-forming layer which are different from each other. The first pattern-forming layer forms one of both outer layers located at both surfaces of the substrate. The first antenna is formed on the first pattern-forming layer, includes a plurality of antenna elements arrayed in a row, and radiates electromagnetic waves in a layer direction of the plurality of layers. The second antenna is formed on the second pattern-forming layer, is arranged on at least one side of both sides of the antenna array direction of the plurality of antenna elements of the first antenna section, and radiates electromagnetic waves in the antenna array direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2015Publication date: September 24, 2015Inventors: Masanobu YUKUMATSU, Asahi KONDOU, Yasuyuki MIYAKE

Patent number: 8354955Abstract: An observation signal processing apparatus transmits a pulse signal as a search signal, generates an observation value based on a reflected signal against a target and a delay modulation pulse signal, and performs coherent integration on the observation value to output an integration value. The apparatus includes a section for determining a coherent integration count, a section for transmitting pulse signals equivalent to the coherent integration count, a section for calculating a phase correction amount based on an estimated relative speed, and a section for performing phase-weighted coherent integration on observation values for the number of times equivalent to the coherent integration count based on the phase correction amount.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2010Date of Patent: January 15, 2013Assignee: Denso CorporationInventors: Yasuyuki Miyake, Asahi Kondou, Gaku Takano

Publication number: 20100156754Abstract: A dielectric block disposed on a substrate so as to cover a radiation patch formed on the substrate has a cylindrical outer shape. A concave portion is provided in a bottom surface (referred to as an opposing bottom surface) of the dielectric block on the side attached to the substrate. Directivity of a dielectric loaded antenna is adjusted by the size of a hollow section formed by the concave portion being adjusted. As a result, desired directivity in a desired frequency band can be actualized without an outer size of the dielectric block (and, thus, an antenna opening size) being changed. In addition, a material (dielectric constant) of the dielectric block can be arbitrarily selected, regardless of the outer shape (size) of the dielectric block. Therefore, freedom of design can be enhanced.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2009Publication date: June 24, 2010Applicant: DENSO CORPORATIONInventor: Asahi Kondou
