摘要： A radar apparatus includes: a transmission unit that transmits a chirp signal; a reception unit that receives a reflected signal that is the chirp signal reflected by a scatterer; and a pole calculation unit that calculates a beat signal based on the chirp signal and the reflected signal and calculates a pole of the beat signal by eigenvalue decomposition of an autocorrelation matrix of the beat signal. The radar apparatus further includes: a complex amplitude calculation unit that calculates a complex amplitude corresponding to the pole by using a least squares method between a basis waveform corresponding to the pole and the beat signal; a distance calculation unit that calculates a distance to the scatterer based on the beat signal; and an intensity calculation unit that calculates an intensity of the reflected signal based on the complex amplitude.

摘要： A radar apparatus (1) of the present embodiment includes a transmitting unit (12) that transmits a frequency chirp signal whose frequency linearly changes with time, a receiving unit (13) that receives a reflected wave that is the frequency chirp signal reflected by an object, a mixer (14) that mixes the transmitted frequency chirp signal and the received reflected wave to obtain a beat signal, a frequency estimation unit (15) that estimates a frequency of the beat signal, and a distance estimation unit (16) that estimates a distance to the object based on the frequency of the beat signal. The frequency estimation unit (15) calculates an autoregressive coefficient of an autoregressive model from a sequence of discrete signal values of the beat signal and estimates the frequency of the beat signal using a base frequency that is based on a pole of the autoregressive model.
