Abstract: A transmission antenna unit includes transmission antennas arranged in a row along a predetermined array direction at a predetermined first interval. A reception antenna unit includes reception antennas arranged in a row along the array direction at a second interval set to differ from the first interval. The transmission antennas and the reception antennas form a virtual array in which virtual reception antennas are arranged in a row along the array direction. The first interval is equal to a multiplication value of a minimum interval being a minimum value of an arrangement interval of the virtual reception antennas and a first multiple being an integer of 2 or greater. The second interval is equal to a multiplication value of the minimum interval and a second multiple being an integer of 2 or greater and set to differ from the first multiple. The first and second multiples are coprime.

Abstract: In a mounting angle error detection method, a relative speed to an object that has reflected continuous waves is determined. An estimated orientation of the object is determined for each frequency bin. An approximated straight line that indicates a relationship between a relative speed of a stationary object relative to the own vehicle and an orientation at which the stationary object is positioned is calculated from the relative speed and estimated orientation determined. As a mounting angle error of the onboard radar apparatus, a difference between an orientation angle identified from the approximated straight line and at which the relative speed of the stationary object relative to the own vehicle is zero, and an orientation angle at which the relative speed of the stationary object relative to the own vehicle is zero when the onboard radar apparatus is mounted in the own vehicle at a predetermined mounting angle is determined.

Abstract: A learning selection unit selects execution of learning by a rapid learning unit at a learning moment if the number of times of learning is less than a number threshold value, and selects execution of learning by an accurate learning unit at the learning moment if the number of times of learning is greater than the number threshold value. The number of times of learning indicates how many times a learned value has been updated by the time learning at the learning moment is started.

Abstract: The radar device includes a transmission section, a reception antenna section, a reception section, a frequency analysis section, a first correlation matrix generation section, and an averaging process section. The transmission section transmits a chirp at cycle periods, the number of the transmitted chirps being a repetition number. The first correlation matrix generation section generates, for the chirps, first correlation matrixes based on complex information on long-distance bins in distance spectra corresponding to respective reception antennas that have received the identical chirp. The averaging process section performs, for the respective long-distance bins, an averaging process for the repetition number of first correlation matrixes generated so as to correspond to the long-distance bins, to generate average correlation matrixes.

Abstract: A target detection device includes an analysis section, a direction estimating section, a received waveform forming section, and a distance calculating section. The received waveform forming section forms a received waveform for each of the frequencies of the continuous waves by weighting beat signals corresponding to received waves received by each of receiving antennas, so as to have directivity in one of arrival directions estimated by the direction estimating section.

Abstract: A periphery monitoring radar device includes a transmission unit, a reception unit, a spectrum generation unit, an azimuth calculation unit, an environment determination unit, and a position calculation unit. The transmission unit transmits a combination of transmission signals modulated using a plurality of modulation modes. The environment determination unit determines whether a peripheral environment is a complex environment from the degree of randomness of a frequency spectrum for each modulation mode. The position calculation unit removes, upon the peripheral environment for at least one modulation mode being determined to be the complex environment, at least one azimuth corresponding to the at least one modulation mode from the azimuths respectively calculated for modulation modes to thereby obtain at least one target azimuth that is at least one of the remaining azimuths except for the removed azimuth; and calculates a position of the vehicle based on the at least one target azimuth.
