Abstract
A radar signal processor has observation means for outputting a predetermined observation signal from a reflected wave, means for extracting an observation signal component concerning a target from the observation signal, means for computing a sample correlation matrix showing a correlation characteristic between the observation means from the observation signal components, means for estimating power of the reflected wave from the sample correlation matrix, and an array response matrix which is comprised of response vectors of the reflected waves. When estimating the power, an adjacent azimuth array response matrix having only the reflected waves of a predetermined arrival direction which power is to be estimated and the reflected waves of an azimuth adjacent to the reflected wave as elements is determined so as to estimate the power of the reflected wave.
