Radar control device and method

A radar control device comprising:

• an antenna unit including one or more transmission antennas and one or more receiving antennas;
• a transmitter for transmitting a radar signal toward an object using the transmission antenna;
• a receiver for receiving a reception signal reflected from the object using the receiving antenna;
• and
• an object detector configured to determine a track for a detected object based on the reception signal, detect an object around a host vehicle based on the determined track, and, in response to a traveling speed of the host vehicle being less than or equal to a predetermined speed and the detected object being plural, classify a preceding vehicle and a clutter based on the reception signal,
• wherein the object detector determines frequency spectrum information of the reception signal, and determines that the reception signal is based on a clutter in response to a peak value component corresponding to each frequency of the frequency spectrum information being less than or equal to a predetermined value.
