Patent attributes
A radar device includes a code generator, a transmission section, a reception section, a delay section, a despreading process section, a correlation value detection section, a target detection section, an estimation section, an acquisition section, and a correction section. The estimation section estimates a reception intensity of a reflection wave from a target located at a first distance on a basis of a detected correlation value. The acquisition section acquires a cross-correlation value between the first distance and a second distance, on a basis of the estimated reception intensity of the reflection wave from the target located at the first distance, a delayed despreading code used to detect a correlation value for the first distance and a delayed despreading code used to detect a correlation value for the second distance. The correction section corrects the correlation value for the second distance on a basis of the cross-correlation value.
