Abstract
Method and apparatus for detecting an object by using a radio wave which is radiated by an antenna toward the object to be detected. An echo wave of the radio wave reflected from the object is received by the antenna. On the basis of phase difference between the transmitted waveform and the received waveform, material of the object is discriminatively identified. The object is displayed as an image on a display unit.
