Abstract

A sensor includes: a complex transfer function calculator that calculates a complex transfer function representing propagation characteristics between each N transmission antenna element and each M reception antenna element, using radio waves transmitted as a reception signal in a space where at least one living body is present from each N transmission antenna element and received by each M reception antenna element; a spectrum calculator that: calculates likelihood spectra, each indicating a likelihood of presence of each living body, by an estimation algorithm for estimating the presence from living body information that is a living body component in the complex transfer function, using different values as the number of the at least one living body; and calculates an integrated spectrum by integrating the likelihood spectra calculated; and an estimator that estimates living body information indicating at least the number of living bodies, and outputs the living body information estimated.
