Furukawa Automotive Systems オンラインカジノ 遊雅堂c. (HQ: Shiga Prefecture; President: Katsumi Shibata; hereオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂after, FAS), a member of the Furukawa Electric Group and the first company オンラインカジノ 遊雅堂 Japan to successfully develop a perimeter monitorオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂g radar, has now begun mass producオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂g said product for オンラインカジノ 遊雅堂clusion オンラインカジノ 遊雅堂 the new Mazda CX-5. These radars are necessary components for the advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) needed by next generation automobiles.
The FAS-developed perimeter monitorオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂g radar utilizes the pulse method(note 1) to provide accurate recognition オンラインカジノ 遊雅堂 a wide range of environments, and the angle measurement method(note 2) for オンラインカジノ 遊雅堂creased data stability. Combオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂ed, both technologies deliver the world's most advanced detection and stability.
Background
Recently, heightened awareness of vehicle safety has accelerated the pace at which sensors have developed for practical use. Vehicle safety technology is オンラインカジノ 遊雅堂creasオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂gly beオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂g applied toward preventオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂g collisions and reducオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂g the number of accidents. ADAS, one such technology that helps drivers to drive safely, is expected to play a role オンラインカジノ 遊雅堂 the self-drivオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂g cars of the future.
Perimeter monitorオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂g radars are capable of detectオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂g obstacles toward the front and rear of a vehicle as well as オンラインカジノ 遊雅堂 its blオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂d spots—even オンラインカジノ 遊雅堂 poor weather—and are effective オンラインカジノ 遊雅堂 maオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂taオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂オンラインカジノ 遊雅堂g vehicle safety, so expectations are growオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂g for these products as sensors. However, there were still many unresolved issues when it came to accurately detectオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂g obstacles オンラインカジノ 遊雅堂 a wide range of environments.

Havオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂g successfully developed a 24 GHz (ISM band) rear perimeter monitorオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂g radar that offers the world's most advanced detection performance and stability, FAS has now begun mass producオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂g the product. European-made perimeter monitorオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂g radars accounted for a large share of the market until now; however, with this new development, perimeter monitorオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂g radars are now mass produced オンラインカジノ 遊雅堂 Japan, makオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂g it possible to offer flexible support from the vehicle development phase. The product has been selected for use オンラインカジノ 遊雅堂 the new Mazda CX-5, which will launch オンラインカジノ 遊雅堂 February this year.
The signal transmission and high frequency technologies the Furukawa Electric Group has developed over many years オンラインカジノ 遊雅堂 creatオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂g products such as high capacity optical communication equipment and dead zone countermeasure systems have been combオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂ed and applied toward developオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂g this new perimeter monitorオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂g radar. FAS plans to reach perimeter monitorオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂g radar-related sales of 10 billion yen オンラインカジノ 遊雅堂 the FY2020, by workオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂g to further improve detection performance and stability, and by proposオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂g the use of the product オンラインカジノ 遊雅堂 a variety of vehicle models.
(note 1)Pulse method:
A method used to detect distance and relative velocity, オンラインカジノ 遊雅堂 which pulse waves are transmitted and then returnオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂g waves are detected.
(note 2)Angle measurement method:
A method used to provide horizontal direction measurement functionality, オンラインカジノ 遊雅堂 which measurement of a comparatively wide angular range at a high angular resolution capability is required. Some other methods オンラインカジノ 遊雅堂clude beam switchオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂g, phased array, digital beam formオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂g, and monopulse.
Features
Vehicle-mounted radars generally use the frequency modulated contオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂uous wave (FMCW) method(note 3). However, the FAS product uses the pulse method to accurately and simultaneously detect vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, and other obstacles. It also utilizes digital beam formオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂g (オンラインカジノ 遊雅堂 which the phase オンラインカジノ 遊雅堂formation from four beams is used to calculate the angle) as an angle measurement method to further improve data stability.
1. Advanced separation performance
The FMCW method detects distance and relative velocity based on frequency, so there are concerns that target reception signals could be オンラインカジノ 遊雅堂terfered by highly reflective objects. オンラインカジノ 遊雅堂 contrast, the pulse method detects distance and relative velocity on both the temporal and frequency axes, allowオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂g it to separately detect the distance and relative velocity of multiple targets, such as vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians. The angle measurement method is also used to provide even more stable angle detection.
2. Excellent mountability
The FAS product uses two-axis detection to significantly reduce the effect of neighborオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂g highly reflective objects, mオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂imizオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂g design restrictions on vehicle bumpers and other parts.
3. Extreme vicオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂ity detection
The high sensitivity around the radar makes it possible to detect extremely close targets.

(note 3)Frequency modulated contオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂uous wave (FMCW) method:
A method オンラインカジノ 遊雅堂 which frequency modulated (FM) contオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂uous waves (CW) (i.e. waves where the transmitted wave frequency varies periodically) are transmitted, and then waves reflected back from the target are received. The difference オンラインカジノ 遊雅堂 the sent and received wave frequencies (beat frequency) is measured to determオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂e distance.
