An FM-CW radar detects at least one of the relative distance and the relative
speed of a predetermined object based on the frequencies of projection portions
observed in the frequency spectrums of beat signals in an ascending-modulation
section and a descending-modulation section, where the projection portions are
generated by one and the same object. The radar determines the moving speed of
a predetermined moving object such as a vehicle or the like having the radar mounted
thereon, and the frequency difference between the projection portions observed
in the frequency spectrums of the beat signals in the ascending-modulation section
and the descending-modulation section is inversely calculated, where the frequency
difference corresponds to the stationary object, and a predetermined pair corresponding
to the frequency difference is extracted on a priority basis.
