There is provided a radar device. A detection vehicle velocity acquiring unit is configured to acquire a detection vehicle velocity detected on the basis of rotation of a wheel. A relative velocity calculating unit is configured to calculate the relative velocity of a still object. A correction value calculating unit is configured to calculate a first correction value on the basis of the detection vehicle velocity and the relative velocity of the still object obtained in a CW mode and calculate a second correction value on the basis of the detection vehicle velocity and the relative velocity of the still object obtained in a FM-CW mode. A vehicle velocity correcting unit is configured to correct the detection vehicle velocity using at least one of the first correction value and the second correction value.

Radar device and vehicle velocity correction method

There is provided a radar device. An estimating unit estimates peak signals corresponding to a target in the latest periods of each of UP and DOWN beat sections of a beat signal on the basis of histories of peak signals corresponding to the target in past periods of the UP and DOWN beat sections. A pairing unit extracts peak signals within predetermined ranges defined with reference to the estimate peak signals on the basis of the histories, and pairs the extracted peak signals. In a case where a distance to the target is equal to or shorter than a predetermined value, the pairing unit extracts peak signals corresponding to the target, from a first range which is a predetermined angular range defined with reference to the estimate peak signals, or a second range which is a predetermined transverse position range defined with reference to the estimate peak signals.

Radar device and signal processing method

A radar apparatus is installed in a vehicle and receives a reflection wave from a target to derive information about the target. The radar apparatus includes a signal processor to extract a peak signal that is obtained from a difference frequency between a transmission signal whose frequency changes in a prescribed cycle and a reception signal representing reception of a reflection wave that is generated from a transmission wave of the transmission signal reflected by the target, in each of an up period in which the frequency of the transmission signal increases and a down period in which the frequency decreases; and to determine whether a target information derivation environment is good or bad based on a number of the peak signals each of which corresponds to a static object having a plurality of angle information.
