Abstract
A distance measurement device includes: a signal division unit to divide a digital signal into N digital signals (N is an integer equal to or greater than 2), the digital signal showing interference light between reflected light which is received from a distance measurement target, and reference light; a frequency shift unit to shift a frequency of each of the N digital signals after distribution; a Fourier transform unit to perform a Fourier transform on each of the N digital signals after frequency shift; and a distance calculation unit to determine a frequency component related to the distance measurement target, to determine a shift amount related to a signal after the Fourier transform which includes the determined frequency component, and to calculate the distance from the distance measurement device to the distance measurement target from the sum of the frequency of the determined frequency component and the determined shift amount.
