Sensor device and toilet device equipped therewith

A sensor device comprising:

• a transmitter part configured to emit a radio wave outside as a transmission wave;
• a receiver part configured to receive a reflection wave reflected by an object as a reception wave;
• a signal generation part configured to generate a first output signal generated based on the transmission wave and the reception wave, a second output signal provided with a phase different from that of the first output signal, and a third output signal generated based on the first output signal and the second output signal, the signal generation part having a first output terminal configured to output the first output signal, a second output terminal configured to output the second output signal, and a third output terminal configured to output the third output signal;
• and
• a controller connected to the first output terminal, the second output terminal, and the third output terminal, and configured to receive the first output signal, the second output signal, and the third output signal and determine presence or absence of an object based on the first output signal, the second output signal, and the third output signal,
• the controller monitoring a first change amount of a first output voltage of the first output signal, a second change amount of a second output voltage of the second output signal, and a third change amount of a third output voltage of the third output signal, and
• the controller determining that
• the object is present when at least one of the first change amount, the second change amount, and the third change amount is not less than a preset threshold, and
• the object is absent when all of the first change amount, the second change amount, and the third change amount fall below the threshold and remain below the threshold for a prescribed time.
