Abstract:
This detection device is provided with a transmission unit that generates electromagnetic waves, a compartment bottom portion by which electromagnetic waves are reflected, and a reception unit that receives electromagnetic waves. The transmission unit emits electromagnetic waves to a detection target region through a partition member for partitioning the detection target region from the transmission unit and the reception unit. The compartment bottom portion is provided on the optical path of the electromagnetic waves emitted from the transmission unit and reflects electromagnetic waves having passed through at least a portion of the detection target region. The reception unit receives electromagnetic waves that have been reflected by the compartment bottom portion and are inputted from the detection target region through the partition member.
