An electronic device includes a transmission antenna that transmits a transmission wave, a reception antenna that receives a reflected wave that is the transmission wave having been reflected, and a control unit that detects an object that reflects the transmission wave, based on a transmission signal transmitted as the transmission wave and a reception signal received as the reflected wave. The control unit performs control to detect, as a target, an object having a motion characteristic of a motion of an arm of a person, among objects located around the electronic device.
