Patent number: 7148840Abstract: A radar apparatus comprises: a transmitter unit having a high-frequency oscillating unit whose oscillation frequency is variable, and a pulse amplitude modulating unit for amplitude-modulating a pulse of a transmission high-frequency signal output from the high-frequency oscillating unit with a first control pulse signal; a receiver unit having a gating unit for controlling ON/OFF of an input of a received high-frequency signal with a second control pulse signal; and a controlling and signal processing unit for controlling the transmitter unit and the receiver unit, and for switching a first operation mode for making the apparatus function as an FM-CW radar, and a second operation mode for making the apparatus function as a pulse radar.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2004Date of Patent: December 12, 2006Assignees: Fujitsu Limited, Fujitsu Ten LimitedInventors: Yoshikazu Dooi, Satoshi Ishii, Hiroyuki Yatsuka, Nobukazu Shima, Masaki Hitotsuya

Patent number: 7095363Abstract: A pulse radar apparatus uses different frequencies, for example, frequencies one of which is a multiple or a submultiple of the other for a signal which becomes a reference of a control pulse for controlling a gate operation for a reception signal and a signal which becomes a base of generation of a transmission pulse. As a result, even if noise is caused by the gate operation, its influence can be removed in the processing of reception signals having different frequencies.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2004Date of Patent: August 22, 2006Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Satoshi Ishii, Yoshikazu Dooi, Hiroyuki Yatsuka, Tetsuo Seki

Patent number: 7006033Abstract: An embodiment comprises a unit generating a control pulse signal by delaying a basic signal in generating a transmission pulse, and a unit performing a gate operation on a received signal using the control pulse signal. Another embodiment comprises a unit generating a control pulse signal by delaying a signal generated using a first basic signal, a second signal for phase modulation having a lower frequency than the first signal, and a pseudo-random signal generated at an intermediate frequency between the frequencies of the first and second signals, and a unit performing the gate operation.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2003Date of Patent: February 28, 2006Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Satoshi Ishii, Yoshikazu Dooi, Hiroyuki Yatsuka, Tetsuo Seki, Kazuaki Hamada

Patent number: 6844843Abstract: A signal from CW radar is received, and the received power detected by the CW radar's swinging in all directions is averaged in each direction. Then, the maximum value and the minimum value of the received power are detected for each direction, and the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value is computed. An average power value of obtained power is also computed. On a 2-dimensional plane on which the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value and the average power value are used for coordinate axes, slice processing is performed using a threshold indicated by a line graph or a curve.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2003Date of Patent: January 18, 2005Assignees: Fujitsu Limited, Fujitsu Ten LimitedInventors: Satoshi Ishii, Yoshikazu Dooi, Sadanori Matsui
