Abstract: Provided is an object shape detection apparatus that can detect the shape of a raised or depressed portion on the surface of an object. In accordance with a comparison result obtained by a reflection intensity comparator with regard to intensity of a horizontally polarized wave component and a vertically polarized wave component of a reflected wave, the object shape determiner detects the shape of the raised portion and the shape of the depressed portion of a detection target object. The object locator detects the position of the raised portion and the position of the depressed portion of the detection target object by measuring the distance to the raised portion and the distance to the depressed portion of the detection target object detected by the object shape determiner.

Abstract: A radar device includes a transmit antenna radiating a modulation signal and a receive antenna receiving reflection waves from the modulation signal. The radar device also includes a mixer mixing the modulation signal and the received signal to output a beat signal, a calculation circuit judging presence or absence of an abnormality by using the beat signal, and a memory storing reference data and a threshold. The reference data indicates a phase component of a set frequency signal from a beat signal without necessarily any abnormality. The set frequency signal is generated from the modulation signal reflected on a surface of a housing located at a set distance from the radar device. The calculation circuit extracts a phase component from the beat signal and supplies information indicating the presence of an abnormality if the difference between the extracted phase component and the reference data is greater than the threshold.

Abstract: A radar apparatus is constituted by a transmitter including transmit antennas, and a receiver including receive antennas, and processing circuitry. When a first beam pattern is used for detection, a memory of the receiver stores as a first result a detection result indicating the position of a reflection point of radio wave. When a second beam pattern is used for detection, a memory of the receiver stores as a second result a detection result indicating the position of a reflection point of radio wave. A detection-result comparator of the receiver compares the first and second results. When the position of a reflection point of the first result is different from the position of the reflection point of the second result, the detection-result comparator removes the reflection point that differs in position.
