1. A distance measuring device comprisingmeasurement electromagnetic wave scanning means for radiating a measurement electromagnetic wave with scanning from a scanning start point to a scanning end point,electromagnetic wave detecting means for detecting the radiated measurement electromagnetic wave which is reflected on a reflection point of an object to be detected thereby,operation means for measuring an elapsed time from emission to detection of the electromagnetic wave and for calculating a distance between said measurement electromagnetic wave scanning means and said reflection point based on the measured elapsed time, andradiation attenuation means for attenuating the radiation of the measurement electromagnetic waves around said scanning start point and said scanning end point.
