The reason why the correlation function is provided in the detection device is mainly that a detection signal having a good S / N is obtained by removing interference interference and environmental noise from a weak reception signal having a low S / N, and obtaining a detection signal having a good S / N. Even if the power peak value is small, the detection distance can be increased. Similarly, even if the transmission signal has a small power peak value, the function using the pulse compression technique is a function that can increase the detection distance. There is a configuration in which pulse compression is performed using waveforms such as stepped frequency modulation format, linear frequency modulation format, code phase modulation format, and code carrier modulation format.
