  • Publication number: 20240146434
    Abstract: Provided are a wireless communication apparatus and a reference signal generating method, wherein inter-cell interference is reduced inside and outside a CoMP set. A CoMP mode setting unit (101) sets whether the terminal (100) thereof is a CoMP terminal or a Non-CoMP terminal. When the terminal (100) is set as a Non-CoMP terminal, the hopping pattern calculating unit (104) calculates a ZC sequence number to be used as the transmission timing, from among all the ZC sequence numbers that can be used within the system. When the terminal (100) is set as a CoMP terminal, the hopping pattern calculating unit (104) calculates a ZC sequence number to be used as the transmission timing, by hopping the ZC sequence numbers to be used within the CoMP set. A ZC sequence generating unit (105) generates a ZC sequence to be used as an SRS, using the calculated ZC sequence number.

  • Patent number: 9110162
    Abstract: An antenna cover (1) for a radar (2) for a vehicle has a rectangular parallelepiped shape, having a flat cover top (10) that faces a microstrip antenna (21a, 21b) of the radar (2) and a sidewall (11) that covers the microstrip antenna (21a, 21b) sideways. The sidewall (11) is located out of the range where the electromagnetic waves to be received by the microstrip antenna (21a, 21b) are directly received. An inner face (11a) of the sidewall (11) is at a right angle to the cover top (10). An outer face (11b) of the sidewall (11) is at a constant angle ? larger than 0 degree but smaller than 90 degrees, to the inner face (11a) of the sidewall (11). The sidewall (11) is structured such that its thickness increases toward the side where the microstrip antenna (21a, 21b) is present.

  • Patent number: 9046607
    Abstract: A radar system includes an arithmetic processing unit, which sends a warning command to a warning device when a local minimum point of the intensity of the reflected wave from a target within a predetermined detection range is detected. By determining whether it is necessary to send a warning command based on whether there is a local minimum point of the intensity within the detection range, it is made possible to determine whether it is necessary to send a warning command more quickly as compared to the conventional system.
