A radar device transmits by a transmitting part a wave whose band is spread by a PN code from a PN generator, receives at a receiving part a reflected wave from an object based on the wave and detects the object by detecting correlation between the received signal and the PN code. In this radar device, the received signal which is spread to a wide range is converted to a low-frequency band which is easy to be measured by a down converter so that a signal is generated when correlation is made by a delay of the PN code from a delay circuit, and generates a pulse signal through waveform shaping of the signal to detect the object and to measure its relative speed and distance at a processing part according to the pulse signal and the delay time.

A multiplex transmission system of this invention includes a plurality of multiplex nodes interconnected by a common multiplex transmission line. A frame of data is transmitted among the multiplex nodes through the multiplex transmission line. When a data frame transmitted from an air conditioner switch multiplex node (subnode) is received, an air conditioner unit multiplex node (main node), which is predetermined as a destination node, detects the contents of each data from an ID-a of the received data, performs a calculation on SOM to DATA 4 received, generates collation data (CRC) in accordance with the result of the calculation and transmits same. The subnode generates collation data (CRC), which is an error check code, through a calculation on the transmitted SOM to DATA 4, and compares the thus-generated CRC with the CRC received from the main node, to determine whether or not the data transmission was properly carried out. When the data transmission was carried out properly, the subnode returns a signal ACK3, and when the data transmission failed, the data frame is retransmitted, whereby the subnode need not have an ACK management function.

Multiplex transmission system

A multipath transmission system of this invention includes a plurality of multiplex nodes connected in parallel to three common signal transmission lines. The multiplex node includes a transmission control circuit which is allotted to a corresponding one of devices, receives a multiplex signal from the device in response to a transmission request of another multiplex node and transmits the multiplex signal to the signal transmission line. It includes a voltage detection circuit for detecting a voltage generated in at least one of the transmission lines, a reception control circuit for specifying the transmission state of the signal transmission line according to a voltage detected by the voltage detection circuit, a communication control device for communicating with the multiplex nodes to detect fault, and a voltage setting circuit for changing a voltage of the signal transmission line when fault is detected by the communication control device.

Multipath transmission system

The data storing system according to the present invention is used for a communication control circuit. The communication control circuit is equipped with a communication sequencer, which takes in a message to be transmitted to a multiplex bus, an ID table which registers data IDs of messages necessary for the station, and the first and second memory circuits which have memory areas keyed to the data IDs. When the communication sequencer takes in a message, it determines whether its data ID exists in the ID table. If the data ID exists and the frequency of occurrence is high, then data following the data ID is temporarily stored in a memory area keyed to a data ID of the first memory circuit. If the data ID exists and the frequency of occurrence is low, then the data following the data ID is temporarily stored in a memory area of the second memory circuit. When a CPU reads the aforementioned stored data, it sets the status area of the storage area, in which the data was stored, for a state that enables a data storage change.
