Patent ID: 7345624

Claim:
A pulse wave radar device comprising: a transmitting circuit which modulates a first transmitting pulse and a second transmitting pulse which are separated in occurrence from each other by a predetermined time interval and transmits a transmitting pulse wave; a transmitting antenna which transmits the transmitting pulse wave transmitted from the transmitting circuit; a receiving antenna which receives a receiving pulse wave reflected from a target; and a receiving circuit which demodulates the receiving pulse wave from the receiving antenna and outputs a receiving pulse; wherein the transmitting circuit transmits a transmitting pulse wave obtained by modulating the first transmitting pulse and the second transmitting pulse as one suite, which corresponds to a predetermined pair of first and second transmitting pulses, so that a time interval between the first transmitting pulse and the second transmitting pulse of a first suite is different from a time interval between the first transmitting pulse and the second transmitting pulse of a subsequent suite, and a time interval between transmission of a transmitting pulse wave obtained by modulating the first transmitting pulse and the second transmitting pulse as one suite, via the transmitting circuit, and transmission of a transmitting pulse wave obtained by modulating a next suite of the transmitting pulses, via the transmitting circuit, is not an integral multiple of a time interval in occurrence between the first transmitting pulse and the second transmitting pulse.
