Abstract
A periphery monitoring radar device includes a transmission unit, a reception unit, a spectrum generation unit, an azimuth calculation unit, an environment determination unit, and a position calculation unit. The transmission unit transmits a combination of transmission signals modulated using a plurality of modulation modes. The environment determination unit determines whether a peripheral environment is a complex environment from the degree of randomness of a frequency spectrum for each modulation mode. The position calculation unit removes, upon the peripheral environment for at least one modulation mode being determined to be the complex environment, at least one azimuth corresponding to the at least one modulation mode from the azimuths respectively calculated for modulation modes to thereby obtain at least one target azimuth that is at least one of the remaining azimuths except for the removed azimuth; and calculates a position of the vehicle based on the at least one target azimuth.
