Abstract: A phased array antenna apparatus includes: an antenna array portion having a plurality of antenna elements (2) disposed at equal intervals, and a plurality of phase shifters (3), each phase shifter being connected between the adjacent antenna elements and changing a phase of a transmission signal; a phase shifter control portion (4) controlling each phase shift quantity of the plurality of phase shifters (3); and a power feed path switching portion (5) for switching a power feed path from an external apparatus (6) to the antenna array portion to one of a path from one end of the antenna array portion and a path from the other end of the antenna array portion, and causing the control by the phase shifter control portion (4) to correspond to the switching.

Abstract: A security sensor 1 having a disturbance detecting capability capable of detecting the presence of an obstacle 8 purposefully applied to the sensor 1 in an attempt to fool or tamper the sensor 1 includes a carrier body A having an infrared sensor element 4, an incident side enclosure 5, such as a lens defining a detection area B, mounted on the carrier body A, a light projecting element 11 for projecting a disturbance detecting beam L1 from inside of the incident side enclosure 5 towards the incident side enclosure 5, a light receiving element 12 for receiving the disturbance detecting beam L1 reflected from the incident side enclosure 5, and a detecting circuit 15 for detecting a presence or absence of the obstacle 8 on the incident side enclosure 5, based on an amount of light received by the light receiving element 12.
