The transmission device (22) comprises at least one signal source (36) for generating electromagnetic scanning signals (30) and at least one beam displacing device (38) for displacing signal paths (42) of electromagnetic scanning signals (30). The transmission device (22) has at least two signal sources (36) which can be actuated individually so at to generate electromagnetic scanning signals (30). At least one beam displacing device (38) can be adjusted between at least two displacement states (I, II), wherein the displacement states (I, II) are assigned to different signal sources (36).

Abstract: A receiving device of a detection device for detecting objects by electromagnetic scanning signals is disclosed. The receiving device includes at least two receiver regions of at least one receiver, and at least one diffraction element. The receiver regions are able to convert electromagnetic signals into electrical received signals. The diffraction element produces a diffractive effect on electromagnetic signals. The diffraction element is arranged in a signal path of the electromagnetic signals upstream of the at least two receiver regions. At least one diffraction element is designed to divide intensities of incident electromagnetic signals into at least two electromagnetic signal components which are propagating on different signal paths. The at least one diffraction element and the at least two receiver regions are matched to one another to allocate at least two different signal paths to different receiver regions.

Abstract: An emitting device (26) for a scanning optical detection system of a vehicle for monitoring at least one monitoring region (14) for objects is described, having at least one light source (40a, 40b) for generating at least one optical emission signal (32a, 32b) and having at least one diffraction unit (50a, 50b), which has a diffractive effect on the at least one emission signal (32a, 32b), for controlling at least one beam direction (66a, 66b) of the at least one emission signal (32a, 32b). At least one diffraction unit (50a, 50b) which is settable to set the beam directions (66a, 66b) associated with the respective signal paths (41a, 41b), is arranged in at least two different signal paths (41a, 41b) of one emission signal or various emission signals (32a, 32b).
