  • Patent number: 7548190
    Abstract: An obstacle sensor operating by collimation and focusing of the emitted wave comprises: a device (I) for insulating the electromagnetic waves emitted by a generator (1); a device for the automatic control (12, 12?) of the transmitter and of the sensor status; a device (15?÷15??) for amplifying the power of the signals emitted and/or received; different shapes of output lens (14?÷14??) of the antenna, with or without peripheral lobes (16), associated or non associated to microwave sensors (19). The sensor is associable to passive and/or active obstacle warning reflectors with the possibility of discriminating them not only if front but also side and above and below the horizon central azimuth, for road, aircraft and naval applications.

  • Patent number: 5991474
    Abstract: Millimetric wave device, capable of operating as a signal transceiving antenna, with an optimum image definition even at extremely short distances (about 1 mm). Depending on the more or less concentration of the waves, the so realised radar antenna adopts, in its different configurations, a curved front optics, or an optics of hemispherical, aspherical, parabolic, concede, convex, biconcave, biconvex or stepped optics. The real focal length of the radar is shorter than that of the lens utilised in the antenna. The standard dimensions of the electronic transception and processing circuit part are very limited and contained.
