Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate mutual interference by adopting the spread spectrum communication system for the wireless communication system and synchronizing a timing of a pseudo noise signal for each system with a timing from a commercial power supply. CONSTITUTION:A timing of a PN signal code is synchronized with a timing from a specific commercial power supply for each wireless communication system. That is, lots of different code timings are obtained by applying spread spectrum in an optional timing from a rising of a frequency in a commercial power supply waveform. A burst wave is applied to an antenna A and an induced voltage is produced in an antenna 15 of a sensor S and the energy is stored in a solid-state resonator 16. The energy stored in the resonator 16 causes an echo in the antenna A. A control section C uses a phase modulator 10 and a synchronization detector 11 to apply spread spectrum demodulation to obtain a detection output signal. A processing/display device 13 discriminates whether or not an echo is in existence in the sensor S to discriminate the closing state of a door or the like.
