According to one embodiment, a microwave sensor that transmits a plurality of microwaves of different frequencies toward a detection area and carries out an object detection operation based on reflected waves of the microwaves from an object present in the detection area, provided with: a distance identification means for obtaining a relative distance to the object in the detection area, a movement-distance identification means for obtaining a movement distance per unit of time of the object in the detection area, and an object determination means that receives output from the distance identification means and the movement-distance identification means and carries out an operation for determining object detection by setting the movement distance value per unit of time, which is a threshold for determining object detection, smaller for longer relative distances to the object in the detection area.
