Title: Doppler signal converter
Inventor: NAMEKAWA KOROKU
IPC: G01S15/58
Filed: 1987-01-21
Abstract: PURPOSE:To detect a speed over a wide range by switching and controlling plural filters and extracting Doppler signals which differ in center frequency. CONSTITUTION:A signal inputted to a terminal A of a filter circuit 21 is amplified by amplifiers 211 and 212 respectively and supplied to BPFs 215 and 216 through coupling capacitors 213 and 214 respectively. The tuning frequencies of those BPFs 215 and 216 are so determined almost symmetrically about a transmission frequency f0 that one shifts to a high frequency f2 and the other shifts to a low frequency f1. The output spectra of the BPFs 215 and 216 have envelope spectra F1 and F2 having center frequencies f1 and f2. The signals from the BPFs 215 and 216 are applied to a filter switch 219 through buffers 217 and 218 and either signal is elected with a switching signal 109 supplied from a terminal C. Further, a switch 220a which selects a wide-band signal is connected to the switch 219 and when the switch 220a is turned on, a received signal is outputted from a terminal B through a buffer 221. Thus, a wide-range output can be detected.
