OBJECT DETECTION DEVICE AND OBJECT DETECTION METHOD
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18823424 titled 'OBJECT DETECTION DEVICE AND OBJECT DETECTION METHOD
Original Abstract Submitted
An object detection device according to the present disclosure includes: wave transmission/reception circuits which, in operation, detect a received wave transmitted to and reflected from an object; and a processing circuit connected to the wave transmission/reception circuits. Each of the wave transmission/reception circuits includes a timing circuit which, in operation, measures time by using time adjusted based on time adjustment information, and a wave transmission/reception control circuit which, in operation, performs wave transmission or wave reception based on the time measured by the timing circuit. The processing circuit includes: an output circuit which, in operation, outputs the time adjustment information to at least one of the wave transmission/reception circuits; and an object detection circuit which, in operation, detects the object by using distance measurement information based on the wave transmission and the wave reception input from the wave transmission/reception circuits.
