Title: Microwave sensor system
Inventor: TSUJI MASATOSHI
IPC: G01S13/38
Filed: 2003-12-22
Abstract: A microwave sensor system is disclosed having a plurality of sensors each having a different phase. The sensors are arranged to transmit microwaves towards a detection area and receive microwaves reflected from the detection area. A determination unit detects whether microwaves have been received by the sensors and a measurement unit computes the respective phase differences of the microwaves received by the plurality of sensors. The distance from the sensors to a target within the detection area is calculated. The measurement unit further determines a measurement error on the basis of the computed phase difference, the calculated target distance and a preset frequency difference between the sensors. The measurement includes a detection error resulting from the presence of moisture, such as rainfall in the air between the sensors and the target; the measurement error the system has; and the measurement error obtained by adding these errors together. The sensor system may include a switching means to control the frequency difference between the sensors and therefore may be configured to suppress detection errors resulting from rainy weather conditions.
