Abstract

A radio detection device includes two or more reception antennas, for detecting a detecting object by a mono-pulse method; the radio detection device including: a variable gain unit for discretely changing respective signal intensity of a difference signal and a sum signal of each reception signal received by the two or more reception antennas; an A/D conversion unit for performing A/D conversion process on the difference signal or the sum signal, the difference signal or the sum signal having the signal intensity changed by the variable gain unit; an angle calculating portion for calculating an angle by the mono-pulse method using the difference signal and the sum signal after the A/D conversion process by the A/D conversion unit; and a control unit for performing a control of individually switching a conversion magnification of the signal intensity by the variable gain unit with respect to the difference signal and the sum signal.
