1. A radar receiving apparatus comprising:
- a signal receiving unit configured to receive an output radar signal transmitted from a radar transmitter and a signal reflected from an object, the reflected signal obtained by reflection of the output radar signal transmitted from the radar transmitter, which is separately disposed from the radar receiving apparatus and the object in a surveillance zone;
a signal processor configured to estimate, based on the reflected signal and the output radar signal, a signal distance of the object which is a sum of a distance from the radar transmitter to the object and a distance from the object to the radar receiving apparatus; and
a synchronizer which transmits a synchronization request signal to at least one of the radar transmitter and a server and receives a synchronization signal from the at least one of the radar transmitter and the server in response to the synchronization request signal, and controls the radar receiving apparatus to synchronize with the at least one of the radar transmitter and the server using the synchronization signal,wherein the synchronization request signal comprises a first time stamp indicating a time when the synchronizer transmits the synchronization request signal to the at least one of the radar transmitter and the server,wherein the synchronization signal comprises a second time stamp indicating a time when the at least one of the radar transmitter and the server transmits the synchronization signal to the synchronizer of the radar receiving apparatus, andwherein the synchronizer calculates an error value by using the synchronization signal and controls the radar receiving apparatus to synchronize with the at least one of the radar transmitter and the server.

Abstract
Provided is a surveillance system including a radar transmitter which transmits a detection signal to an object existing within a surveillance region, and at least one radar receiver which is installed separate from the radar transmitter within the surveillance region, receives a signal reflected by the object, and predicts a signal distance of the object which is a sum of a distance from the radar transmitter to the object and a distance from the object to the at least one radar receiver.
