Radar Device Vertical Angle Peak Pairing

The patent transitions from two-dimensional peak detection to three-dimensional peak detection by incorporating vertical angle information. The determining unit identifies that when a first peak and second peak correspond to the same horizontal position but different vertical angles, and the distance decreases, this indicates erroneous tracking of upper objects. This dimensional addition resolves the contradiction by maintaining simple device structure while improving measurement precision through vertical dimension analysis.

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the determining unit continuously monitors the relationship between first peaks and second peaks across multiple measurement cycles. When the distance to the tracked object decreases and vertical angle differences are detected, the system identifies erroneous tracking and corrects it. This feedback approach maintains ease of operation while significantly improving reliability by automatically detecting and correcting tracking errors.

The patent applies partial action by selectively processing only those peak pairs that exhibit characteristics of erroneous tracking. The determining unit identifies specific conditions (distance decrease, vertical angle difference) that indicate errors, and only then performs additional peak correlation analysis. This approach avoids full reprocessing of all data while maintaining high measurement precision for problematic cases, thus balancing productivity and measurement precision.
