Abstract
An estimation method includes: receiving, by first and second antennas, radio waves including reflected radio waves that are radio waves transmitted from a transmitting antenna and reflected by a target; calculating a phase difference between first received radio waves that are radio waves received by the first antenna in the receiving and second received radio waves that are radio waves received by the second antenna in the receiving; calculating an amount of correction based on the amplitude of the first received radio waves and the amplitude of the second received radio waves, adding the calculated amount of correction to the phase difference calculated in the calculating of the phase difference, and obtaining a corrected phase difference resulting from correction of the phase difference; and estimating, based on the corrected phase difference and the distance between the first and second antennas, a direction in which the target is located.
