Abstract: A radar apparatus includes a transmitter including a plurality of circuits that intermittently transmit one or more radar signals, the plurality of circuits being suspended power supplying during a period in which the one or more radar signals are not transmitted, variation detection circuitry that detects process variations of the plurality of circuits, and determination circuitry that determines a startup timing of each of the plurality of circuits in response to the process variations and outputs startup commands in response to the determined startup timings to the plurality of circuits.

Abstract: A local oscillation signal level adjustment circuit includes: a local oscillation circuit that outputs a local oscillation signal; a variable gain amplifier that amplifies the local oscillation signal level; a frequency conversion circuit that converts a radio signal into an analog baseband signal by using the local oscillation signal thus amplified; an A/D converter that converts the analog baseband signal into an output code of a digital baseband signal; and a control circuit that controls a gain of the variable gain amplifier on a basis of the output code of the digital baseband signal, wherein the control circuit increases the gain of the variable gain amplifier until the output code of the digital baseband signal becomes saturated.

Abstract: Two LPFs are disposed on the output side of a differential amplifier to remove an AC component contained in an output signal output from a first output terminal of the differential amplifier and an AC component contained in an output signal output from a second output terminal of the differential amplifier. The lowpass filter voltage of the output signal output from the first output terminal with the AC component removed is input to one of input terminals of one of two comparators, and the lowpass filter voltage of the output signal output from the second output terminal with the AC component removed is input to one of input terminals of the other comparator.

Abstract: A first switch is provided between a received signal detector circuit and an amplifier circuit of a microphone signal, and a high pass filter, and a second switch is provided between a high pass filter, and a signal amplifier circuit in a preceding stage of a loudspeaker and an amplitude limiting circuit of a transmission signal. The high pass filter is thereby shared for transmission and reception. The high pass filter filters a tone signal from an output signal of the received signal detector circuit to extract an audio signal in reception. The high pass filter also filters a frequency component of the tone signal included in the audio signal inputted from the microphone in transmission.

Abstract: A fuel filling device is provided with a fuel supply adjusting section which adjusts the amount of fuel supplied, a fuel feed line which feeds fuel from a fuel supply adjusting section to a vehicle W, a nozzle removably coupled to vehicle W that supplies fuel from fuel feed line to vehicle W, and a discharge device that discharges fuel present within fuel feed line to the outside to prevent deterioration of packings used in the device in the case of filling a fuel at high pressure, while also facilitate the operation of a filling nozzle.
