Definitions
- the present invention relates to an on-vehicle radar, which is mounted on a moving object such as a vehicle and detects an azimuth of an obstacle, a relative distance to the moving object, a relative speed, and the like. Thread
- In-vehicle radars that use millimeter waves are less susceptible to weather conditions such as rain, fog, and snow, dust, and noise than ultrasonic radars and laser radars. It is attracting attention as an optimal radar for such purposes.
- the millimeter-wave vehicle radar 20 is installed in front of the moving body 21 and the vehicle whose transmission signal is detected by the main lobe mb from the antenna (hereinafter referred to as the "target"). It is radiated toward 22.
- the target main lobe mb from the antenna
- Such a millimeter-wave radar has low noise when the moving body 21 is stopped and has good detection performance.
- the antenna has a useful main rope with the direction of the maximum radiated power, and a side rope in a direction different from the main lobe.
- the radiation power due to the side lobe is lower than that of the main lobe, but when the moving body 21 is traveling, the detection performance is degraded by this side lobe.
- the moving body 21 is traveling at the moving speed Vr in the direction of the arrow 24, the reflected wave from the side lobe sb incident on the road surface 23 at an angle of 0 is expressed by the following equation (1).
- V s V r cos0. ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ (] _)
- the signal from the target 22 due to the main lobe mb was buried in the noise, causing problems such as deterioration of the detection distance and erroneous detection.
- a metal plate is placed in front of the antenna to cut off side lobes and reduce clutter noise. It is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-201557.
- a patch antenna as shown in Fig. 13 has been known as an antenna for millimeter wave radar (for example, see page 980 of "Handbook of MICROSTRIP ANTENNAS” by JR James, published by Peter Peregrimis).
- the patch antenna is formed on a dielectric substrate 4 having a ground conductor 25 on the bottom surface, and has a plurality of patch elements 27 as radiators.
- the TEM mode fed from the feed point 28 by a coaxial line or the like propagates through the microstrip feed line 26 and is distributed to the patch element 27.
- the arrow 9 on the patch element 27 is the direction of the main polarization, and the polarization in this direction propagates in space. Because patch antennas can be manufactured by chemical etching of dielectric substrates, they are low-cost and thin, and are widely used as millimeter-wave radars.
- the noise rise of the reception signal of the millimeter-wave on-vehicle radar due to the load clutter will be described with reference to FIG.
- the horizontal axis is the relative speed of the target with respect to the radar-equipped vehicle, normalized by the absolute speed of the vehicle (vehicle), and the vertical axis is the received signal strength. It is assumed that there is a noise level when the vehicle equipped with radar is stopped. This is determined by the noise N s (dB) generated in the electronic circuit of the radar, and becomes noise 31 as shown in Fig. 1-4. Since the level of the reception signal 29 from the running target is St (dB), the SN ratio when the radar vehicle is stopped is represented by (St_Ns). (In Fig. 14, the target speed is about 0.6 of the speed when the vehicle equipped with radar is running.)
- the main factor of the sidelobe is unnecessary radiation from the feed line of the patch antenna.
- unnecessary radiation from the feed line and feed point was large, degrading the radiation characteristics of the antenna.
- the main component of the side rope radiated in the direction parallel to the antenna surface is cross-polarization, reduction of cross-polarization leads to prevention of road clutter.
- the side rope that enters the road surface vertically, the shortest distance between the antenna and the road surface and the maximum reflection coefficient of the road surface result in not only cross-polarization but also weak main polarization. Also needs to be reduced.
- the mounting position of the vehicle radar varies depending on the vehicle, and in order to minimize the effect of multipath due to diffuse reflection from the vehicle, it is necessary to reduce unnecessary side ropes other than those incident on the road surface as much as possible.
- An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide a small and lightweight in-vehicle radar which has excellent detection performance by preventing road clutter, and can be mounted in any position.
- a vehicle radar includes an antenna having at least one radiating element that radiates linearly polarized waves, A slit plate provided on the metal plate with multiple slits, a radio wave absorber provided between the antenna and the slit plate, and a transmission signal supplied to the antenna to radiate radio waves. And a transmitting / receiving device for detecting the direction of the obstacle from a signal obtained by receiving the reflected wave returned by the antenna with the antenna.
- the slit plate allows the main polarization of the linear polarization to pass therethrough and shields the cross polarization which is a main component of the side lobe.
- the drobe is reduced, and road clutter can be prevented.
- the radio wave absorber significantly reduces not only cross-polarization, which is the main component, but also weak main polarization, so that The SN ratio at speed is improved, and the detection performance can be greatly improved.
- the distance between the antenna and the slit plate is about 1 mm as described later, and there is no need to arrange a projection such as a conventional metal plate for reducing clutter noise in front of the antenna. Therefore, the automotive radar of the present invention is small and lightweight, and can be mounted on any position of the vehicle within a range that does not hinder the emission of radio waves. That is, the mounting position is not selected.

- radio wave absorbing sheets 5 lined with a matching metal plate 6 are arranged on both ends of the antenna plate 3 in the vertical direction.
- the radio wave absorbing sheet 5 is efficiently impedance-reflected without being reflected by the radio wave incident on the radio wave absorbing sheet 5 by performing impedance matching in the space by the matching metal plate 6.

- the length of the slit 8 is set to be sufficiently long as compared with the wavelength so as to prevent deterioration of the antenna radiation pattern due to resonance in the slit.
- the direction of the main polarization of the linearly polarized waves of the patch antennas 1, 2a, and 2b (hereinafter, simply referred to as “antenna”) is represented by an arrow 9, and the direction of the slit 8
- the slit plate 7 has the characteristic of passing only the main polarization and reflecting the cross polarization.
- the following equation (2) shows the reflection coefficient of the slit plate 7 with a polarization parallel to the longitudinal direction of the slit 8.
- the reflection coefficient of the slit plate 7 with a polarization perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the slit 8 is expressed by the following equation (3).
- ⁇ represents the free space wavelength at the operating frequency.
- the radio wave absorbing sheet 5 and the matching metal plate 6 reduce side lobes generated by radio waves leaking from the gap between the patch antenna 1 and the slit plate 7, and reduce the incident wave on the road surface and the radiation from the road surface. It plays a role in preventing multipath of reflected waves.
- the antenna By making the main polarization direction horizontal to the road surface, the angle at which the directivity of the patch element itself becomes minimum becomes the road surface direction, so that the reflected wave from the road surface can be reduced.
- FIG. 2 shows a sectional view and a block diagram corresponding to FIG.
- a monopulse method is used for detecting the azimuth of the target.
- the transmission / reception device 17 transmits a transmission signal via the transmission patch antenna 1, receives a signal reflected by an obstacle using the reception patch antenna 2a and the reception patch antenna 2b, and then transmits a hybrid circuit.
- a sum signal ⁇ and a difference signal ⁇ which are monopulse signals, are generated.
- the millimeter wave signal generated by the oscillator 14 is supplied to the transmission patch antenna 1 via the power amplifier 13.
- the sum signal ⁇ and the difference signal ⁇ generated by the hybrid circuit 12 are supplied to mixers 15a and 15b, respectively, and mixed with the output signal of the oscillator 14.
- the sum signal ⁇ and the difference signal ⁇ are converted into intermediate frequency signals by mixing, respectively, and input to the signal processing circuit 16.
- the signal processing circuit 16 detects the direction (DIR-DET) of the object using the frequency-converted signals of the sum signal ⁇ and the difference signal ⁇ , and detects the speed of the object using the sum signal ⁇ . (VEL-DET), distance detection (DIS-DET), etc. These detection results are converted into a signal suitable for an output device such as a display device (DISP) 18 as necessary, and output to the output device.

- This radar has a radome 11 made of a dielectric material that protects the antenna / slit plate 7, thereby preventing the detection performance of the radar from deteriorating with time.
- the slit plate 7 is placed in contact with the radome 11 and at a distance Dp from the antenna surface. If the distance D p between the slit plate 7 and the antenna surface is smaller than 1/8 effective wavelength of the working frequency, the radiation pattern and impedance characteristics of the antenna main polarized wave will deteriorate, and If the wavelength is longer than the effective wavelength, a propagation mode is generated between the antenna surface and the slit plate 7, and the cross polarization reduction characteristics of the slit plate 7 deteriorate. Therefore, it is desirable that the distance Dp be set between 1Z8 effective wavelength and 1/2 effective wavelength.

Since the measurement was performed without the target vehicle in front, clutter noise caused by a side rope incident on the road surface at an angle of 0 was used as the received signal (vertical axis), and the relative speed V s seen from the vehicle in Equation (1) (Horizontal axis). This embodiment is represented by the actual measurement value 32.
- FIG. 3 also shows the measured values 33 in the case of a radar with only the red dome 11 without using the slit plate or the like shown in FIG.
- the peak appearing at a relative speed of 64 kmZh is the sum of the reflected small signals from stationary objects other than the road surface in front of the radar-equipped vehicle.
- the relative velocity dependence of the radome alone was as large as 58 dB to 97 dB, whereas in the present embodiment, it was 91 dB ⁇ 100 dB, which is very good, and the clutter noise reduction effect in the present embodiment is clear.
