Patent ID: 7504988

Claim:
A radar device, comprising: a long range radar sensor comprising: a first transmission section for transmitting a radio wave to a first detection range of which center is a predetermined direction; a first receive section for receiving a reflected wave of the radio wave from the first detection range; and a first signal processing section for computing a receive signal supplied from the first receive section and detecting an object existing in the first detection range; a short range radar sensor comprising: a second transmission section for transmitting a radio wave to a second detection range of which center is the predetermined direction, and of which width is wider and of which distance is shorter than the first detection range; a second receive section for receiving a reflected wave of the radio wave from the second detection range; and a second signal processing section for computing a receive signal supplied from the second receive section and detecting an object existing in the second detection range; and a processing section for integrating information on a detected object supplied from the first and second signal processing sections, wherein the second transmission section is set so as to stop transmission of the radio wave to an overlapped range included in both the first and second detection ranges.
