  • Patent number: 12142828
    Abstract: An antenna device includes a ground portion including a linear portion connecting a first point and a second point to each other along a first direction parallel to a surface of a substrate, on one side in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, a power feeding portion provided in a first range including the first point, and an element portion configured to receive power from the power feeding portion and formed in a conductor portion of the substrate that is insulated from the ground portion in a state in which the element portion protrudes from the first range toward the other side in the second direction. The element portion includes a first element portion protruding in the first range toward the other side in the second direction, and a second element portion extending along the first direction from the first element portion toward the second point.

  • Patent number: 11307304
    Abstract: An object detection device includes: first and second transmission/reception units transmitting and receiving an exploration wave to detect a peripheral object; and a processing unit determining a position of an object based on reception results of the first and second transmission/reception units. The processing unit calculates a first point based on first and second exploration waves, calculates a second point based on third and fourth exploration waves, determines that the object exists on a line segment interconnecting the first and second points when a distance between the first and second points is less than a predetermined value, and determines that the object exists on the line segment and line segments extended from both ends of the line segment when the distance between the first and second points is equal to or greater than the predetermined value.

  • Patent number: 11294053
    Abstract: An object detection device includes: first and second transmission/reception units spaced apart from each other and configured to transmit an exploration wave and receive the exploration wave reflected by an object; and a processing unit configured to calculate a position of the object based on reception results by the first and second transmission/reception units. The processing unit includes: a distance processing unit configured to calculate first and second points based on the reception results, and calculates a separation distance between the first and second points; a position calculation unit configured to calculate the position based on the first and second points; a reflection intensity processing unit configured to calculate a reflection intensity indicating an intensity of the exploration wave received by the first and second transmission/reception units; and a position correction unit configured to correct the position based on the separation distance and the reflection intensity.
