Abstract
An in-vehicle radar system, which transmits an electric wave toward a target object and measures the distance between a subject vehicle and the target object, based on the electric wave that has been reflected by the target object and is received by the in-vehicle radar system, includes subject vehicle-speed determination means for determining whether or not the subject vehicle is in a halt state or moving at a predetermined speed or lower; transmission-output control means for setting transmission output smaller than that for the case where the subject vehicle is moving, when the subject vehicle-speed determination means detects that the subject vehicle is in a halt state or moving at the predetermined speed or lower; and reception-sensitivity control means for setting a reception gain amount larger than that for the case where the subject vehicle is moving.
