Electronic device, control method of electronic device, and control program of electronic device

An electronic device includes a controller that performs control to enable switching between a first band mode such that a transmission wave is in a first band and a second band mode such that the transmission wave is in a second band broader than the first band. The controller performs control to switch to the second band mode when an object is detected within a predetermined distance in the first band mode.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SIDE-DIRECTED RADAR FROM A VEHICLE
20170299714 · 2017-10-19 ·

A system and method to sense an environment based on data acquired by side looking radar. For example, a side looking radar is mounted on one or both sides of a ground-based vehicle and performs measurements from environment while the vehicle is moving. As the vehicle moves, a scan of the environment is therefore performed, wherein movement of the vehicle provides another dimension of information for the scan. In another example, the radar can further scan in the vertical plane at a fixed side looking angle to increase the field of view. A 3D map and localization can be determined from the scan.
