Abstract
A radar device comprises a transmitter, a receiver, a first radar image production component, a second radar image production component, a display component, and an echo width adjuster. The transmitter transmits a pulse signal. The receiver receives an echo signal during a transmission and reception period of the pulse signal. The first radar image production component produces a radar image of a first display range on the basis of the echo signal. The second radar image production component produces a radar image of a second display range that is wider than the first display range on the basis of the echo signal. The display component selectively or simultaneously displays the radar image of the first display range and the radar image of the second display range. The echo width adjuster adjusts pulse width of echo included in the radar images or the echo signal according to the display range of the radar image.
