RADAR APPARATUS USING CHIRP WAVE AND SIGNAL PROCESSING METHOD OF RADAR APPARATUS

摘要

A radar apparatus includes a first processing unit, a second processing unit, and a speed determining unit. Of these units, the first processing unit determines at least speed including ambiguity caused by phase folding back within a predetermined speed measurement range, from phase rotation of frequency components detected in time-series for a same target, using a beat signal obtained by transmitting and receiving, a plurality of times, a predetermined first modulation wave. The second processing unit determines at least speed that is uniquely determined within the speed measurement range, from Doppler frequency included in frequency components indicating a target, using a beat signal obtained by transmitting and receiving a predetermined second modulation wave. The speed determining unit determines a measurement result for speed expressed by a resolution obtained by the first processing unit by comparing a calculation result of the first processing unit and a calculation result of the second processing unit.
