This is the same as (a1) shown in FIG. 1 of the related art, but it can be seen that the next period transmitted thereafter is different.
That is, (b2) corresponds to the next period, and since the chirp signal of the first period adjacent to the next period is a down chirp signal, the transmission signal of the next period is determined as an up-chirp signal. Information between the vehicle and the target is obtained by using a chirp signal generated by transmitting and receiving the determined up-chirp signal and a chirp signal generated from a down-chirp signal among chirp signals in an initial period.
Similarly, in (b3), since the chirp signal of (b2) adjacent to (b3) is an up-chirp signal, the down-chirp signal is determined as a transmission signal in the period (b3). Information between the vehicle and the target may be obtained using a chirp signal generated by transmitting and receiving the determined down chirp signal and a chirp signal generated from an up chirp signal among chirp signals in a cycle (b2).
In this way, by determining the transmission signal as either a chirp signal of either the up-chirp signal or the down-chirp signal, and using the chirp signal already generated in the previous period, information between the vehicle and the target can be obtained quickly, and conventionally In comparison, as information acquisition amount increases, reliable information can be provided.
The invention being thus described, it will be obvious that the same way may be varied in many ways. Such modifications are intended to be within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
