Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
To accurately calculate a location range which a ship is capable of reaching within a prescribed time interval. A signal processing device is configured so as to be equipped with reachable range calculation units 17, 18 which calculate a reachable range, which is the location range a ship is capable of reaching within a prescribed time interval, on the basis of the static information of the ship.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A radar device comprising: an antenna configured to transmit electric waves to a ship, receive reflected electric waves reflected from the transmitted electric waves by the ship, and output the reflected electric waves to a processing circuitry; and the processing circuitry, coupled to the antenna, configured to: receive the reflected electric waves output from the antenna, estimate static information of the ship on a basis of the received reflected electric waves, calculate a reachable range, which is a location range the ship is capable of reaching within a prescribed time interval, on a basis of the static information of the ship, calculate a maximum veering angle of the ship on the basis of the static information of the ship, and calculate the reachable range on a basis of the maximum veering angle. 2. The radar device according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to: estimate the static information of the ship on a basis of reflected waves which are transmitted waves reflected by and returned from the ship. 3. The radar device according to claim 2 , wherein the processing circuitry estimates a size of the ship as the static information of the ship on the basis of the reflected waves reflected by and returning from the ship. 4. The radar device according to claim 1 , wherein the static information of the ship is information obtained through an automatic identification system (AIS) antenna. 5. The radar device according to claim 1 , wherein the static information of the ship is information input by a user. 6. The radar device according to claim 1 , wherein the static information of the ship is information related to at least either a size of the ship or a type of the ship. 7. The radar device according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry calculates the reachable range on a basis of dynamic information of the ship. 8. The radar device according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry calculates reachable ranges of a plurality of ships, and decides a part in which respective reachable ranges of at least two ships overlap each other as a collision risk range. 9. A radar device comprising: the processing circuitry according to claim 1 ; and a display on which the reachable range calculated by the processing circuitry is displayed.
