  • Patent number: 10852410
    Abstract: A receiving circuit uses a weight set by calibration to weight signals incident to receiving elements. A storing unit stores a measured value of a mode vector reflecting characteristics of the receiving circuit in an error-free state of the weight for the receiving circuit characteristics and further correlates and stores an incident signal angle estimated by an estimating unit, and for the error-free state, a calculation result of an evaluation value by an evaluation function capable of calculating the evaluation value, which varies according to the incident signal angle and error. A detecting unit calculates the evaluation value based on the stored measured value of the mode vector and the evaluation function and detects an occurrence of the error based on comparison of the calculated evaluation value and the stored evaluation value, when the estimated incident signal angle corresponds to a value close to the stored incident signal angle.

  • Patent number: 10738883
    Abstract: A controller of a power transmission system for a vehicle includes an electronic control unit. When a difference between a secondary pressure set by use of a command pressure of the electromagnetic control valve for the secondary pulley, and an actual pressure obtained by a hydraulic pressure sensor, is larger than a predetermined pressure difference, the electronic control sets a primary pressure and the secondary pressure such that a speed ratio of a continuously variable transmission becomes substantially equal to a maximum value. The electronic control unit determines that there is an abnormality that an output pressure of the electromagnetic control valve for a secondary pulley is low, when the speed ratio is smaller than a predetermined first determination value, and determines that there is an abnormality in the hydraulic pressure sensor, when the speed ratio is larger than a predetermined second determination value.
