A method determining a malfunction when a reception signal fluctuates at a receiver owing to malfunctions occurring on a leaky cable and its related devices. The method determines, among range bins correlating the reception signal with a distance from a feed end of a radio-wave radiation unit and a radio-wave reception unit, based on a correlation between a time-delay from a transmission time of a transmission signal until a reception time of the reception signal and a transmission path distance of the reception signal in the radio-wave radiation unit and the radio-wave reception unit, when, comparing the reception signal with the transmission signal with respect to the range bin corresponding to a far end, a level of amplitude reduction in the reception signal exceeds a predetermined ratio, that a malfunction is present in either the radio-wave radiation unit or radio-wave reception unit.
