<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a detecting apparatus and a detecting method, capable of surely detecting the presence or absence of an invader. <P>SOLUTION: The detecting apparatus which detects the presence or absence of the invader based on a reception wave, includes: a receiving section which receives the reception wave and outputs a reception signal contained in the reception wave; and a determining section which determines the presence or absence of periodicity of the reception signal, based on first and second thresholds for the reception signal. The determining section is characterized by determining the presence of the periodicity of the reception signal, in the case that the level of the reception signal does not exceed the first threshold and becomes a value not less than the second threshold two or more times. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
