  • Patent number: 7605745
    Abstract: Provide an on-vehicle radar device that performs transmission control of a monitoring signal, following fixed rules, so that interference with other radar devices can be avoided with certainty. An on-vehicle radar device comprises a transceiver which transmits/receives a monitoring signal at a specified frequency band and transmits a priority order signal at a frequency within the above-mentioned frequency band, and a controller which switches the signals transmitted by the transceiver. The transceiver receives a priority order signal of another radar device, and when interference with the signal of the other radar device is detected, the controller, based on the priority order of that other device and on the priority order of the device itself, shifts, by a specified frequency amount, the frequency band of the monitoring signal transmitted by the transceiver.

  • Patent number: 7450056
    Abstract: The search/detection apparatus modulates a carrier signal by a modulation signal, generates a probe signal for detecting the location of a target, and receives the probe signal reflected by the target as an echo signal. Then, the search/detection apparatus detects the existence of an interference signal other than the echo signal from the received signal and modifies the parameter of the modulation signal and/or carrier signal.
