Abstract
A radar device is configured in such a manner that each of transmission radars uses, as the amount of phase modulation, a value determined from either one of a positive integer value that is less than or equal to a result of division obtained by dividing the number of hits of a transmission RF signal by the number of the transmission radars and a value of 0; a hit number h of the transmission RF signal; and the number of hits.
Claims8
A radar device comprising:
- a plurality of transmission radars to transmit transmission radio-frequency signals by performing phase modulation on pulse signals with a same transmission frequency, using amounts of phase modulation, the transmission radio-frequency signals being the phase-modulated pulse signals, and the amounts of phase modulation varying between hit numbers;
- a reception radar to receive, as a reception radio-frequency signal, each of the transmission radio-frequency signals having been transmitted from each of the plurality of transmission radars, and then reflected by a target;
- and
- a signal processor to detect a candidate for the target on a basis of the reception radio-frequency signal received by the reception radar, wherein
- each of the plurality of transmission radars uses, ponding one of the amounts of phase modulation, a value determined from either one of a positive integer value that is less than or equal to a result of division and a value of 0;
- a hit number;
- and a number of hits of a corresponding one of the transmission radio-frequency signals, the result of division being obtained by dividing the number of hits by a number of the plurality of transmission radars, the value using different amounts of the phase modulation satisfying a formula below.
