- the point of 3) is different.
- a transmitting unit 401a is provided instead of the transmitting unit 101.
- the transmitting unit 401 a includes a balanced modulator 412 a and an amplifier 413 a instead of the local oscillator 112, the balanced modulator 113, and the balanced modulator 114.
- the balanced modulator 412 a determines the phase of the oscillation signal (eg, 24 [GHz] o) supplied from the local oscillator 111 based on the PN code supplied from the transmission PN code generator 103. Modulation, and outputs a modulated signal obtained by modulation.
- the amplifier 413 a amplifies the modulation signal output from the balanced modulator 4 12 a and outputs a signal obtained by amplification. Then, the signal output from the amplifier 413 a is radiated as a detection radio wave through the band pass filter 115, the attenuator 116, and the transmitting antenna 117.
- a repetition code generator 408 a is newly provided.
- the repetition code generator 408a generates repetition codes, such as 1, 0, 1, 0, ⁇ ", and supplies the generated repetition codes to the exclusive OR calculator 409a.
- a code is repeatedly generated at 455 [kHz].
- the frequency 1Z2 of the clock frequency of the repetition code is preferably a frequency that is an integer fraction of the frequency of the period of the first pseudo noise code in order to improve the correlation characteristic of the received signal.
- the frequency 1Z2 of the clock frequency of the repetition code means the frequency itself of the rectangular wave when the repetition code is "1, 0, 1, 0 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ".
- Exclusive-OR operator 409a performs an exclusive-OR operation on the PN code supplied from reception PN code generator 104 and the repetition code supplied from repetition code generator 408a, The code obtained by performing the logical OR is output to the balanced modulator 124 of the receiver 102.
- repetitive code generator 408a and exclusive OR calculator 409a are integrated in the same semiconductor integrated circuit. Then, even if the code output from the exclusive OR calculator 409a is output to the outside of the semiconductor integrated circuit, the repetition code supplied from the repetition code generator 408a is not output. Thus, as long as the repetition code frequency or its harmonics are selected by the band pass filters 126 and 128 and amplified by the amplifiers 127 and 129, as long as the repetition code does not flow onto the printed circuit board, It is possible to prevent the signal leaked from the return code generator 408a from affecting the very weak signal passed through the quadrature demodulator 125.

- the signal leaked from the repetitive code generator 408 b can suppress the influence on the receiving unit 102.
- An exclusive OR is taken between (bit string) and the transmission PN code. Then, since the code obtained by the exclusive OR is modulated using the oscillation signal supplied from the local oscillator, the code obtained by the modulation is generated above and below each frequency of the spectrum. , A large number of spectra are generated by the bit string. Because this makes the number of spectra very large, The influence of the non-linearity of the equalizing modulator 412a, the amplifier 413a, the low noise amplifier 123 and the like causes intermodulation between a large number of spectra. As a result, in the despreading process on the receiving side, the correlation characteristics with the delayed PN code are degraded, and the peak-to-noise ratio of the received output is degraded. That is, a weak object is masked by a strong reflection object, and the object detection capability is degraded.
