Patent ID: 11385342

Abstract:
An object sensing apparatus 1 includes: an emission unit 11 configured to emit an RF transmission signal in each period; a reception unit 21 configured to receive a reflected wave of the RF transmission signal as an RF reception signal; an IF signal generation unit 22 configured to generate an IF signal by mixing the RF transmission signal and the RF reception signal; a one-dimensional spectrum generation unit 23 configured to generate a one-dimensional spectrum with respect to distance obtained using the object sensing apparatus as a reference, based on the IF signal, and use the generated one-dimensional spectrum to generate a one-dimensional spectrum with fixed object reflection removed, from which a signal component caused by a reflected wave from a fixed object present in an emission range has been removed; a position detection unit 24 configured to detect a position of an object other than the fixed object based on the amplitude of the one-dimensional spectrum with fixed object reflection removed; and a displacement detection unit 25 configured to detect displacement of the object other than the fixed object, based on the phase of the one-dimensional spectrum with fixed object reflection removed, which corresponds to the position of the object other than the fixed object.
