Abstract
An FMCW radar device executes a frequency analysis for a beat signal in a frequency increase interval and a frequency decrease interval, to obtain frequency components in a predetermined high frequency range exceeding a frequency range corresponding to a target detection frequency range within which a target object for detection should be detected. Then the FMCW radar device calculates a value related to a sum of intensities of frequency components within the high frequency range respectively for each of the frequency increase interval and the frequency decrease interval. In the case that one of the calculated integrals is larger than a threshold, the FMCW radar device determines that the FMCW radar device is interfered with by a nearby radar device.
