Abstract
Provided are a sonar device, signal processing method, and recording medium which contribute to improvement in target signal detection ability of an operator. The sonar device comprises a signal detection processing unit and a noise suppression processing unit. The signal detection processing unit calculates a direction vector for each frequency cell and also calculates a resultant vector direction obtained by summing up the direction vectors of all the frequency cells. The noise suppression processing unit calculates, for each frequency cell, the difference between the resultant vector orientation and the signal direction of the frequency cell, and performs a first noise suppression process for suppressing stationary noises included in a received signal such that the noise suppression effect be smaller on a signal of a frequency cell whose signal direction has a smaller difference from the resultant vector direction, and be larger on a signal of a frequency cell whose signal direction has a larger difference from the resultant vector direction.
