  • Patent number: 11265030
    Abstract: An object to be achieved by an embodiment of the present invention is to provide a radar apparatus, a signal processing apparatus, and a method that reduce interference caused to a reception signal by a transmission signal during transmission of a signal. To achieve the above object, a radar apparatus of an embodiment includes: a transmitter configured to transmit a pulse signal; a receiver configured to receive a reception signal including a first signal as the pulse signal reflected by an observation target and an interference signal provided in accordance with the pulse signal; and a processor configured to generate a separated signal in which the reception signal is, on a time axis, separated into a first component corresponding to the first signal and an interference component corresponding to the interference signal by using a first reference signal generated based on the pulse signal and reduce the interference component.

  • Patent number: 10164307
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a waveguide bend includes a metal block. The metal block includes a first waveguide, a second waveguide and a third waveguide. The first waveguide, the second waveguide and the third waveguide are integrally formed. The second waveguide includes a bend at which a propagation direction of a radio wave is changed. An opening size of the second waveguide is smaller than an opening size of the first waveguide. The third waveguide is provided between the first waveguide and the second waveguide. An opening size of the third waveguide is smaller than the opening size of the first waveguide and is larger than the opening size of the second waveguide.

  • Publication number: 20170269206
    Abstract: A radar apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an oversampler, a weight vector calculator, a meteorological parameter calculator, an error influence degree calculator, and an error reducer. The oversampler performs oversampling on a received signal to acquire a sampling signal. The weight vector calculator calculates a weight vector based on the sampling signal and a waveform information matrix. The meteorological parameter calculator calculates an estimated value of a meteorological parameter on an observation target based on the vector and the matrix. The error influence degree calculator selects a first observation target considering an estimated error included in the estimated value, or an error influence degree based on the estimated error. The error reducer subtracts an estimated error that the first observation target gives to an estimated value of a meteorological parameter on a second observation target, from the estimated value on the second observation target.

  • Publication number: 20130258618
    Abstract: A module has a circuit board having a through-hole which separates a transmitter for transmitting the high frequency signal and a receiver for receiving the high frequency signal, both on the circuit board. The circuit board includes an insulating layer and a wiring layer. The wiring layer is formed in the ends of the insulating layer. A cover shields the transmitter and the receiver and has a partition part. The partition part is electrically connected with the wiring layer and has a groove portion communicating with the through-hole, and is electrically connected with the wiring layer at the periphery of the through-hole. The depth of the groove portion L from a contact surface with the wiring layer satisfies L=nĂ—?/2 Where, n is a natural number and ? is a wavelength of the high-frequency signal.
