Abstract

A warning apparatus comprises a Gunn oscillator, a transmitting antenna, a receiving antenna, a detector, and a comparator which produces a detecting signal when the output signal from the detector is belowed a reference level. The warning apparatus further comprises a drive circuit for applying a rectangular pulse voltage to the Gunn oscillator, a band-pass filter allowing only a microwave with the transmitting frequency band of microwaves received by the receiving antenna to pass therethrough, and a signal generator for applying the reference signal, which changes in accordance with the output signal of the detector, to the comparator.
