ON-BOARD RADAR APPARATUS, DETECTION METHOD, AND DETECTION PROGRAM
First Claim
1. An on-board radar apparatus comprising:
- a transmitting unit configured to transmit a transmitted wave;
a receiving unit configured to receive a reflected wave obtained by causing an object to reflect the transmitted wave, to generate a reception signal, and to detect the object by performing a signal process on the reception signal;
a determination unit configured to determine whether or not the on-board radar apparatus is located in a vehicle interior; and
an adjustment unit configured to adjust transmitting characteristics of the transmitting unit or receiving characteristics of the receiving unit so as to compensate for an attenuation in a propagation path of the transmitted wave or the reflected wave when the determination result of the determination unit is affirmative.

6. A detection method using an on-board radar apparatus having a transmitting unit configured to transmit a transmitted wave and a receiving unit configured to receive a reflected wave obtained by causing an object to reflect the transmitted wave, to generate a reception signal, and to detect the object by performing a signal process on the reception signal, the detection method comprising the steps of:
-
determining whether or not the on-board radar apparatus is located in a vehicle interior; and adjusting transmitting characteristics of the transmitting unit or receiving characteristics of the receiving unit so as to compensate for an attenuation in a propagation path of the transmitted wave or the reflected wave when the determination result is affirmative.

7. A detection program causing a computer of an on-board radar apparatus, which comprises a transmitting unit configured to transmit a transmitted wave and a receiving unit configured to receive a reflected wave obtained by causing an object to reflect the transmitted wave, to generate a reception signal, and to detect the object by performing a signal process on the reception signal, to perform the sequences of:
-
determining whether or not the on-board radar apparatus is located in a vehicle interior; and adjusting transmitting characteristics of the transmitting unit or receiving characteristics of the receiving unit so as to compensate for an attenuation in a propagation path of the transmitted wave or the reflected wave when the determination result is affirmative.
