Abstract
A radar device is provided in this disclosure. The radar device includes an area determination module for performing a determination of a noise superior area or a target-echo superior area for each divided area of a radar-search area defined in advance, a noise-level calculation module for calculating a noise level for a divided area based on received signals from the divided area that is determined as the noise superior area, and an interpolation module for interpolating or extrapolating the calculated noise level for the divided area that is determined as the noise superior area, to obtain a noise level for a divided area that is determined as the target-echo superior area.
