Abstract:
1. A detection device, comprising: a transceiver configured to output a reception signal according to an echo intensity of a transmission signal that was transmitted by the transceiver; a pulse compressor configured to perform pulse compression of the reception signal; a reception signal monitor configured to monitor an intensity of the reception signal before the pulse compression based on a saturation condition; a transmitting condition setter configured to control the transceiver to reduce a transmitting power of a next transmission signal to be transmitted by the transceiver by a power reduction amount lower than a transmitting power of the transmission signal according to the intensity of the reception signal before the pulse compression as monitored by the reception signal monitor to prevent saturation of a next reception signal to be received by the transceiver according to an echo intensity of the next transmission signal; and a transmission pulse width setter configured to extend a pulse width of the next transmission signal according to the power reduction amount by which the transmitting condition setter reduces the transmitting power of the next transmission signal.
