  • Publication number: 20220221567
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a transmission antenna that transmits a transmission wave, a reception antenna that receives a reflected wave that is the transmission wave having been reflected, and a control unit. The control unit detects a target by using a constant false alarm rate, based on a transmission signal transmitted as the transmission wave and a reception signal received as the reflected wave. The control unit establishes reference regions on a far side in a distance direction with respect to a test region in a distribution of signal intensities based on the reception signal in the distance direction, and sets a threshold for use in detection of the target, based on an order statistic among the signal intensities in the reference regions.
