By pulsing transmission radio waves of continuous wave radar, clutter
components included in a reception signal are suppressed.In a radar
system that emits into space pulsed transmission radio waves being
generated based on a frequency-modulated reference continuous waveform,
acquires a reception signal by receiving the pulsed transmission radio
waves reflected from an external object, and computes distance thereto
and velocity thereof from the frequency of a beat signal obtained by
mixing the acquired reception signal with the reference continuous
waveform, the radar system includes a frequency-band selector 19 for
classifying, on the basis of a spectral spread corresponding to the pulse
width of the pulsed transmission radio waves, frequency components of the
beat signal, and a distance/velocity calculator 20 for computing, on the
basis of the classified results from the frequency-band selector 19,
relative distance to and velocity of a moving object, or relative
distance to a stationary object.
