Patent ID: 6859165

Claim:
A pulse radar device comprising: a rectangular signal generating means for generating a rectangular signal that is a reference signal; a transmit timing voltage setting means for setting a voltage value for determining a transmit timing; a transmit pulse generating means for generating a transmit pulse on the basis of the rectangular signal from the rectangular signal generating means and the voltage value from the transmit timing voltage setting means; a transmit means for transmitting an electric wave of the generated transmit pulse; a receive means for receiving a reflection wave obtained by reflecting the electric wave by a plurality of objects so as to output its receive signal; a receive saw-tooth wave generating means for generating a saw-tooth wave in synchronism with the transmit pulse outputted from the transmit pulse generating means; a receive signal sample hold means for sample-holding a level of the saw-tooth wave at the time where the receive signal is inputted from the receive means on the basis of the saw-tooth wave from the receive saw-tooth wave generating means and the rectangular signal from the rectangular signal generating means; and a detecting and distance measuring means for detecting the objects and measuring a distance to the objects on the basis of the sample/hold output from the receive signal sample hold means.
