Abstract: In a configuration for detection of a movement state of a radio tag using a phase difference of a response wave from the radio tag, a phase ?[i] and a measurement time t[i] of a response wave from a radio tag measured are sequentially stored in a memory. A difference from a previous phase and a difference from a previous measurement time with respect to each phase ?[i] stored in the memory are calculated as a phase difference ??[i] and a time difference ?t[i]. A phase addition value ?sum[i] obtained by cumulatively adding a plurality of the phase differences ??[i] is calculated so as to correct a phase difference in which the corresponding time difference ?t[i] among the calculated plurality of the phase differences ??[i] exceeds a time threshold tsa [i], whereby the movement state of the radio tag is detected based upon the calculated phase addition value ?sum[i].

Abstract: A configuration which can easily discriminate a moving wireless (radio) tag from a stationary wireless (radio) tag. The configuration uses an antenna to measure phases of response waves received from a wireless tag. Based on the measurements, the configuration measures changes in distance from the wireless tag to the antenna and detects travel of the wireless tag. Based on the measurements, the configuration measures changes in velocity of the wireless tag relative to the antenna. A wireless tag having a rate of changes in signs of the velocity, of not less than a predetermined value in the measured velocity changes, is detected as being a stationary tag.

Abstract: A high frequency generating device used in a plasma ignition apparatus according to embodiments includes an output unit and a control unit. The output unit outputs a high frequency to an antenna that irradiates the high frequency into a combustion chamber of an internal-combustion engine. The control unit instructs the output unit to output the high frequency on the basis of an ignition signal that controls a spark discharge by an ignition plug and a control signal that controls output of the high frequency. Moreover, the control unit determines, when one of the ignition signal and the control signal is input, whether or not the other signal is input within a predetermined detection period, and detects abnormality in an input path of the ignition signal or in an input path of the control signal when the other signal is not input within the predetermined detection period.
