  • Publication number: 20240118123
    Abstract: For calibrating high frequency based field devices, a first switching unit is provided between the antenna arrangement and the transmission amplifier and receiving amplifier of the field device. For ascertaining the corresponding calibration factors, the first switching unit can assume switch positions at which the signal production unit and/or the evaluation unit are/is connected with the antenna arrangement, and at which the transmission path and/or the receiving path are/is connected with an attenuation element via which the transmission path is connectable with the receiving path. An evaluation unit of the field device ascertains at least at these switch positions the corresponding characteristic variable to use these in the later measurement operation as calibration factors. Advantageous with this kind of calibration of the invention is that possible couplings of the amplifiers are compensable.

  • Publication number: 20240116578
    Abstract: A vehicle having a tailgate configured to move between retracted and extended positions is disclosed. The vehicle includes a first detection unit, a second detection unit, a third detection unit and a control unit. The control unit obtains a first input from the first detection unit and determines whether the tailgate is in extended position. The control unit further obtains a second input and a third input from the second and third detection units respectively, when the tailgate is in the extended position. Responsive to obtaining the second and third inputs, the control unit identifies a tailgate extended orientation. In addition, the control unit detects an obstacle presence in a vehicle rear side proximity and calculates a calibrated distance between the obstacle and a tailgate top side, based on the tailgate extended orientation. The control unit notifies a vehicle user when the calibrated distance is less than a threshold.
