A radar receiver (Rx) receives a reflected wave signal corresponding to a radar transmitting signal having been reflected on a target by using a plurality of antenna system processors (D1 to D4), and estimates an arrival direction of the reflected wave signal. A peak frequency selector (21) selects a peak value of a correlation vector. An adjacent time-frequency component extractor (22) extracts correlation vectors in number of (NE×NT−1) corresponding to NE Doppler frequencies and NT times respectively adjacent to a Doppler frequency and a time giving a peak value. A correlation matrix generating adder (23) generates a correlation matrix corresponding to correlation of the reflected wave signal received by a plurality of receiver antennas on the basis of the (NE×NT) extracted correlation vectors.
