However, even if there is a temporary radio signal reception failure, the physical quantity during the missing time can be estimated, so the reliability is high. Acquisition of physical quantities is possible via wireless communication. That is, when the wireless reception device 20 cannot temporarily receive a wireless signal for some reason, it can be estimated that the reception has been lost and appropriately processed. For example, when receiving continuously for a long time, it is in a state where it can be continuously received at substantially the same interval. When reception is lost once in a state of receiving at approximately the same interval, the wireless transmission state is poor. It can be estimated relatively easily that a state in which reception is not possible has occurred, and an appropriate physical quantity can be acquired by interpolation processing or the like.

- the wireless transmission circuit 18 consumes the voltage (power supply) obtained at the power input terminal V DD as energy and performs transmission processing of the wireless signal S.
- the ground potential portion GND of the wireless transmission circuit 18 and the power supply circuit 17 is connected to the ground potential portion of the DC voltage source 11.
- the other end of the storage capacitor 13 is also connected to the ground potential portion of the DC voltage source 11.
- the resistance value of the transistor 92 as the sensor element changes according to the voltage value of the DC voltage source 91, and the wireless transmission circuit according to the change in the resistance value.
- the interval at which the radio signal S is transmitted from 18 changes. Therefore, the radio reception device 20 can detect the voltage value of the DC voltage source 91 from the reception interval of the radio signal S.
- the amplifier 92 Since the amplifier 92 is connected as shown in FIG. 27, even when the voltage of the DC voltage source 91 that is a voltage to be detected is small, the transmission interval of the radio signal S is appropriately changed by the voltage change, and the radio reception is performed.
- the device 20 can appropriately detect the voltage.
- the wireless sensor device 10v shown in FIG. 28 uses an AC voltage source 94 as a voltage source. That is, in the wireless sensor device 10v, the AC voltage output from the AC voltage source 94 is amplified by the amplifier 95 and rectified by the rectifying element 96. The DC voltage rectified by the rectifying element 96 is supplied to the gate of the transistor 92. About another structure, it is the same as that of the radio

Changes. Therefore, the radio reception device 20 can detect the voltage value of the DC voltage source 91 from the reception interval of the radio signal S.
- FIG. 29 shows the configuration of a wireless sensor device 10w of the wireless sensor system according to the eleventh embodiment of the present invention. Since the configuration on the radio receiving apparatus 20 side is the same as that of the radio receiving apparatus 20 described in the first and second embodiments, description thereof is omitted.
- a wireless sensor device 10 w shown in FIG. 29 is configured as a motion detection sensor and includes a Doppler radar 97.
- the Doppler radar 97 emits radio waves to an object or human body whose movement is to be detected, receives the reflected wave, and detects the movement of the object or human body.
- the wireless sensor device 10w uses the Doppler radar 97 as a sensor element.
- the Doppler radar 97 detects a moving state (moving speed) of a moving object or a human body by using a shift generated between the transmission frequency and the reception frequency due to the Doppler effect.
- the Doppler radar 97 detects the sleep state of the human body (determination of whether the human body is stationary or turning over).
- the Doppler radar 97 is installed below the bed where the measurement subject sleeps, and detects the sleep state without contact with the measurement subject.
- the Doppler radar 97 outputs an I signal (In-phase component) and a Q signal (Quadrature component) having different phases as detection signals. Then, one of the two signal components (here, I signal) is supplied to the amplifier 95 via the DC component cut capacitor 98 and amplified. Then, the I signal amplified by the amplifier 95 is supplied to the gate of the transistor 92. Similarly to the wireless sensor device 10v shown in the example of FIG. 28, the transistor 92 is supplied with the output voltage Vcc of the DC voltage source 11 at the drain, and the source is connected to the power supply circuit 17 side.
- the Q signal output from the Doppler radar 97 is supplied to the respiration / heart rate sensor 99.
- the respiration / heart rate sensor 99 acquires information on the respiration rate and heart rate of the human body from the detection signal.
- the wireless sensor device 10w includes the respiration / heart rate sensor 99 as an example, and the respiration / heart rate sensor 99 may be omitted. Other configurations of the wireless sensor device 10w are the same as those of the wireless sensor device 10v illustrated in FIG.
- FIG. 30 is a waveform diagram illustrating an operation example of the wireless sensor device 10w.
- the vertical axis represents voltage
- the horizontal axis represents time (seconds).
- the example of FIG. 30 shows a state in which the movement gradually decreases from a state in which the movement of the measurement subject is large.
- a voltage waveform VR1 illustrated in FIG. 30 indicates an I signal output from the Doppler radar 97.
- the I signal VR1 vibrates at a constant frequency when there is a movement of the measurement subject, and the peak value changes in conjunction with the movement of the measurement subject. When the measurement subject does not move, the I signal VR1 has a substantially constant voltage value.
- the transistor 92 sets the threshold value V th1 to be turned on to 4.5V.
- the threshold V th1 In setting of the threshold V th1 of such transistors 92, in the example of FIG. 30, in the case of the state motion of the subject is large, in conjunction with the increase or decrease of the voltage value of the amplified signal V R2, the threshold V th1 It is turned on when the timing is exceeded, and turned off when the threshold Vth1 or less.
- the storage capacitor 13 is charged only during the period when the transistor 92 is turned on.
- the wireless transmission circuit 18 transmits the wireless signal S.
- the wireless transmission circuit 18 stops after transmitting the wireless signal S, and continues discharging until the voltage of the storage capacitor 13 reaches the lower threshold value VL. Thereafter, charging is performed only for the time when the transistor 92h is turned on, but this operation is continued while the Doppler radar outputs an AC signal. With such an operation, the wireless transmission circuit 18 transmits the wireless signal S intermittently. While the radio signal S is transmitted intermittently, it corresponds to a period in which the subject is moving.
- the amplified signal V R2 does not exceed 4.5V, the transistor 92 does not become completely ON state. For this reason, when there is no movement or a small movement of the measurement subject, the power supply circuit 17 does not operate and the wireless transmission circuit 18 does not transmit the wireless signal S.
- FIG. 31 shows an example of a reception state at the wireless reception device 20 of the wireless signal S transmitted by the wireless sensor device 10w.
- the horizontal axis in FIG. 31 indicates time (minutes) from the start of measurement, and the vertical axis indicates the number of beats (1 / s) of the radio signal S per second.
- there is a first measurement subject's movement m1 immediately after the start of measurement and there is a second measurement subject's movement m2 about 20 seconds after the first measurement subject's movement m1.
- the third, fourth, and fifth movements m3, m4, and m5 occur. Each movement corresponds to the measurement subject turning over.
- the wireless sensor device 10w As shown in FIG. 31, it is possible to measure the timing at which a movement corresponding to turning over has occurred in the measurement subject during sleep. Conventionally, when such a movement during sleep is measured by a radar, it has been necessary to perform frequency analysis on the output of the Doppler radar using a fast Fourier transform or the like, and it has been necessary to continuously perform heavy signal processing. On the other hand, in the case of the wireless sensor device 10w shown in FIG. 29, it is only necessary to transmit the wireless signal S based on the output of the Doppler radar 29, which is a very simple configuration and consumes less power. It becomes possible to detect. In the case of the wireless sensor device 10w shown in FIG.
- the respiration / heart rate sensor 99 can detect the respiration rate and the heart rate using the output of the Doppler radar 29. Therefore, a comprehensive diagnosis of the sleep state of the measurement subject is performed by comprehensively evaluating the period of turning detected from the transmission state of the wireless signal S and the detection of the respiration rate and heart rate by the respiration / heart rate sensor 99. Can also be done.
- the wireless sensor device 10w is used to detect the sleep state of the measurement subject, and the wireless sensor device 10w may be used to detect the movement of an object or living body for other purposes.
- the Doppler radar 29 may detect the movement of an object or a living body within a specific range and monitor the presence or absence of an intruder.
- the respiration / heart rate sensor 99 is not necessary.
- the respiration / heart rate sensor 99 may be installed to detect the heart rate of the person at the same time when the intruder (monitoring person) is detected.
- the sensor elements that detect physical quantities described so far are suitable examples, and may be wireless sensor apparatuses that are connected to sensor elements that measure other physical quantities.
- a wireless sensor device using various sensor elements can be configured as long as the sensor element can electrically detect a physical quantity, such as a sensor element that detects pressure (atmospheric pressure, tire pressure, etc.). .
