A radar antenna suitable for a drone is provided, which is able to compensate for the agility of drone motion. The radar antenna contains a sandwich of two printed circuit boards between three conductive plates. A first printed circuit board comprises a preferably circular array of first antenna elements such as dipoles. A second printed circuit board, parallel to the first printed circuit board, comprises an array of second antenna elements. One of the array of first antenna elements and the array of second antenna elements is an array of transmission antenna elements and the other an array of reception antenna elements. The first printed circuit board is located below the second printed circuit board. Three conductive plates are used to shape the antenna patterns from the antenna elements so that the main lobes of the antenna patterns are directed obliquely downwards and the antenna patterns from the different array at least partly overlap, suppressing vertical side lobes. A first conductive plate separates the first and second printed circuit boards. A second conductive plate is located above the second printed circuit board, extending radially outward beyond the first conductive plate. A third conductive plate is located below the first printed circuit board. The first conductive plate extends radially outward beyond the third conductive plate.

The present invention relates to a level radar antenna assembly for measuring a level in a container. The level radar antenna assembly comprises a transmitting antenna assembly for transmitting a transmission signal in the direction of a filling material surface of a filling material stored in the container, a receiving antenna assembly for receiving a transmission signal reflected at the filling material surface, and a housing. The transmitting antenna assembly and the receiving antenna assembly are integrated in the housing, the transmitting antenna assembly being larger than the receiving antenna assembly.

A vehicular system includes a body panel having an aperture and a radar unit at least partially aligned with the aperture. The radar unit includes a housing encapsulating a printed circuit board operable to generate radar waves. The housing includes a first wall through which the radar waves are directed. The first wall of the housing is visible within the aperture and the body panel does not extend across the first wall.

A sensing apparatus for monitoring a substance contained in a storage building the apparatus comprising: a mounting bracket configured to be secured to a roof of the storage building; a sensing assembly mounted to the mounting bracket, the sensing assembly including: a sensor for measuring a parameter of the substance in the storage building when the sensor is in a measuring orientation; and a housing for housing the sensor, the housing being pivotably connected to the mounting bracket and being freely pivotable relative to the mounting bracket about a pivot axis, the housing being orientable in an operative position in which the sensor is in the measuring orientation to allow the sensor to measure the parameter of the substance, the sensing assembly having a center of mass located below the pivot axis such that the housing is urged towards the operative orientation by gravity.

An antenna apparatus includes multiple antenna elements each performing at least one of transmission and reception of radio waves. The coverage areas of main lobes of radiation patterns of the multiple antenna elements are overlapped with each other and the shapes of side lobes thereof are varied among the multiple antenna elements. With this configuration, it is possible to discriminate and acquire the signal of the radio waves coming from the coverage areas of the main lobes of the antenna from the signal of the radio waves coming from the outside of the coverage areas.

An anti-collision radar device includes a radar mount for fixation to an outer peripheral side of a powerless trailer carriage, and a radar mounted in the radar mount for sensing vehicles coming from left and right sides. The radar mount defines a reference surface. The radar has a sensing surface. The extending direction of the sensing surface is intersected with the extending direction of the reference surface so that a predetermined angle of 30° to 50° is defined therebetween. Thus, the anti-collision radar device can expand the radar sensing range and reduce the visual field blind spot of the driver of the car, thereby ensuring the safety of the car when towing the powerless trailer carriage.

A wireless transmitter, a wireless receiver and a system are disclosed. The wireless transmitter includes a first upper housing; a first lower housing, wherein the first lower housing and the first upper housing are arranged opposite to each other to form a cavity; an antenna arranged on a side surface of the first upper housing; a processor circuit board arranged in the cavity, where the processor circuit board includes a UWB high-frequency transceiver module and a processor arranged on the processor circuit board.

A millimeter wave radar unit includes a housing including a first opening and a second opening, a millimeter wave radar mounted to the housing in such a manner as to close the first opening of the housing, and a cover including a cover main body as an emblem and being mounted to the housing in such a manner as to cover the second opening of the housing, with a millimeter wave to be emitted from the millimeter wave radar, transmitted through the cover main body and illuminate an exterior side.

A vehicular radar sensor includes an emission part for emitting an electromagnetic wave and a reception part for receiving an electromagnetic wave, and a waveguide including a restriction portion, which is open at front and rear surfaces thereof so as to allow an electromagnetic wave to be transmitted therethrough and which is fixed at the open rear surface thereof to the antenna and extends outwards from a front end of the antenna, and a flaring portion, which extends outwards with an increasing cross-sectional area from a front end of the restriction portion.

An assembly includes a base having an inlet and an outlet. The assembly includes a deflector supported by the base rearward of the inlet. The assembly includes a sensor supported by the base and in fluid communication with the outlet. The base defines a channel extending between a first end and a second end, the inlet at the first end and the deflector at the second end. The outlet is forward of the deflector and outside the channel.
