  • Patent number: 9348012
    Abstract: In a vehicle inclination detecting device, a receiving unit includes a switching unit for alternately switching between a received signal from a first receiving antenna and a received signal from a second receiving antenna to alternately output the received signals to an orthogonal detector. The orthogonal detector carries out orthogonal detection on each of the two received signals from the switching unit and an oscillating signal from an oscillator by using an identical line.

  • Patent number: 9336683
    Abstract: A travel distance measurement device includes a transmitting antenna that is disposed in a vehicle and emits a transmission signal, as a radio wave, toward a ground surface, a receiving antenna that is disposed in the vicinity of the transmitting antenna, and receives a radio wave reflected from the ground surface and acquires a reflection signal, a distance calculator (an IQ demodulator and a phase conversion integrator) that calculates the travel distance of the vehicle on the basis of the acquired reflection signal, a gyro sensor that measures a predetermined parameter regarding curve traveling of the vehicle, and a correcting operation unit that corrects the calculated travel distance on the basis of the measured parameter.

  • Publication number: 20140036265
    Abstract: A reflector apparatus includes reflectors, which respectively radiate reflected waves in predetermined polarization directions. A polarized wave information reading circuit fixed to a moving body radiates a radio wave toward the reflecting apparatus from a transmitting antenna, receives reflected waves from the reflecting apparatus, and generates a received level difference signal that corresponds to a polarization direction of the received reflected waves. A position calculating circuit calculates a position of the polarized wave information reading circuit based on the received level difference signal.

  • Patent number: 8421622
    Abstract: A monitoring system for a moving object including a leaking transmission device having a first and second leaking transmission paths extending substantially in parallel to each other, first equipment for transmitting a first transmission signal from one end side of both the ends of the leaking transmission device as a transmission medium to the other end side, second equipment for transmitting a second transmission signal from the other end side of both the ends of the leaking transmission device as the transmission medium to the one end side, and a detector for detecting a two-dimensional movement of a moving object as a monitoring target on the basis of a difference between variations of first and second reception signals based on the respective reflection waves of the first and second transmission signals from the moving object.
