Abstract: L'invention a pour objet un procédé utilisé pour la protection contre l'incendie d'une zone. Selon l'invention, plusieurs têtes de pulvérisation pour extinction d'incendie (1) sont disposées dans la zone, lorsqu'elles sont activées, elles pulvérisent un moyen d'extinction dans la zone, un espacement (S1, S2) étant prévu entre les têtes de pulvérisation adjacentes. Les têtes de pulvérisation (1) sont disposées dans la zone (A1, A2) par détermination d'une densité de débit d'eau d'un moyen d'extinction nécessaire pour protéger la zone à protéger et par détermination d'une pression d'alimentation (p1, p2) du moyen d'extinction pour les têtes de pulvérisation (1) d'une certaine zone ou d'une section d'une zone. L'espacement (S1, S2) des têtes de pulvérisation adjacentes dépend de l'ampleur de la pression d'alimentation (p1, p2) et d'une valeur K de la tête de pulvérisation, de sorte que la densité de débit d'eau d'un moyen d'extinction destiné à la pulvérisation soit sensiblement constante.

IPC: H04B7/10

Abstract: An incoming direction estimation apparatus estimates an incoming direction of a radar wave and such by using three or more sensors or antennas simultaneously, unlike a conventional incoming direction estimation apparatus. The incoming direction of the radar wave is configured as sin -1 ((1/2πa)*tan -1 b). "a" is d/λ determined by the antenna interval and by the wavelength λ of a carrier carrying the radar wave. Simultaneous use of three antennas makes it possible to set a as a value depending on a value d 0  = a 0 λ based on the interval between first antennas and value d 1  = a 1 λ based on the interval between second antennas. Therefore, if a wide field of vision of an incoming direction is needed, it is only necessary to adjust (d 1 -d 0 )/λ = (a 1 -a 0 ), in place of the absolute interval of antennas a =d/λ, thereby making it possible to lessen a limitation on the design of antennas and set a field of vision of the incoming direction appropriately. 
     To estimate the incoming direction of a signal, the direction θ is given by      θ   =     sin     -   1       ⁢       1     2   ⁢   πa       ⁢   arg   ⁢         -   1   ±     1   +   4   ⁢   b       2               
by setting (y 2 +y 1 )/y 0  = b and a = d/λ, where y 0  is a signal received by first sensors, y 1  is a signal received by second sensors and y 2  is a signal received by third sensors, and d 1  = d 0  = d.
