  • Patent number: 11474196
    Abstract: A radar device includes: plural unit antennas, each including plural antenna elements configured to transmit or receive a radio wave, the plural antenna elements being aligned in a predetermined direction in a plane and connected by a transmission line. The plural unit antennas include a first unit antenna having plural antenna elements arranged asymmetrically with respect to a virtual straight line parallel to the predetermined direction, the virtual straight line passing through an antenna phase center of the first unit antenna, and a second unit antenna having plural antenna elements arranged asymmetrically with respect to a virtual straight line parallel to the predetermined direction passing through an antenna phase center of the second unit antenna. The plural antenna elements of the second unit antenna are arranged in a manner substantially symmetrical to the plural antenna elements of the first unit antenna with respect to the virtual straight line.

  • Publication number: 20110050525
    Abstract: A radar device is provided. A planar antenna is tiltably provided with respect to a housing. A detecting section detects a tilt angle of the planar antenna with respect to the gravity direction. A moving section moves the planar antenna to adjust the tilt angle of the planar antenna. A storage section stores a history of the tilt angle of the planar antenna and a tiltable range of the planar antenna with respect to the housing. The moving section moves the planar antenna by a first angle to adjust the tilt angle of the planar antenna to a reference angle if the sum of the history of the tilt angle of the planar antenna and the first angle is within the tiltable range of the planar antenna. The moving section does not move the planar antenna by the first angle if the sum of the history of the tilt angle of the planar antenna and the first angle is beyond the tillable range of the planar antenna.

  • Patent number: 7811653
    Abstract: An extrusion molded article for automobiles, having a body portion (1) and a hollow sealing portion (11), where the body portion (1) comprises a core (2) made of a resin having a U-shaped cross-section extending in a longitudinal direction and a covering layer (3) surrounding and covering the core partly or entirely, and the hollow sealing portion (11) is bonded integrally with an outer surface (4) of the body portion, characterized in that the covering layer (3) is made of a thermoplastic elastomer composition having a tensile elongation at break of at least 350%, as determined according to JIS K6251, and a change in 100% modulus of at most 40%, wherein the change in 100% modulus=[(100% modulus at 23° C.-100% modulus at 80° C.)/100% modulus at 23° C.

  • Patent number: 7675460
    Abstract: An in-vehicle radar apparatus includes a beam emitting part that emits a beam, a casing that supports the beam emitting part, and a reference unit that is attached to the casing and is equipped with multiple surfaces usable as a reference plane. A surface of the casing to which the reference unit is attached and the reference plane form an angle that depends on which one of the multiple surfaces is used as the reference plane.
