1. A target object detecting device, comprising:
a first transmission signal generator configured to generate a first transmission signal;
a second transmission signal generator configured to generate a second transmission signal;
a first wave transmitting array having a plurality of first wave transmitting elements configured to convert the first transmission signal and the second transmission signal into transmission waves;
a first signal switch configured to supply the first transmission signal to one of the first wave transmitting elements in the first wave transmitting array;
a second signal switch configured to supply the second transmission signal to one of the first wave transmitting elements in the first wave transmitting array; and
a controller configured to perform a first control in which the first signal switch switches the first wave transmitting element to which the first transmission signal is supplied, from an element n to an element n+1, and the second signal switch switches the first wave transmitting element to which the second transmission signal is supplied, from an element m to an element m+1.
