Abstract: Provided is a radar apparatus including: an estimation circuit; and a processing circuit. The estimation circuit outputs a plurality of pieces of data each including information in which a distance to a target and a direction to the target are estimated based on a reception signal including a reflected wave that is a radar signal reflected by the target. The processing circuit determines a range side lobe component in the target based on the estimated distance and the estimated direction of one or more pieces of data selected from the plurality of pieces of data.

Abstract: One of a transmitting array antenna and a receiving array antenna includes a first antenna group and a second antenna group. The first antenna group includes one or more first antenna elements of which the phase centers of the antenna elements are laid out at each first layout spacing following a first axis direction, and a shared antenna element. The second antenna group includes a plurality of second antenna elements and the one shared antenna element, and the phase centers of the antenna elements are laid out in two columns at each second layout spacing following a second axis direction that is different from the first axis direction. The phase centers of the antenna elements included in each of the two columns differ from each other regarding position in the second axis direction.

Abstract: Radar transmitter includes a plurality of transmit antennas that transmit a plurality of transmission signals using a multiplexing transmission, and a transmission circuit. The transmission circuit applies phase rotation amounts corresponding to combinations of Doppler shift amounts and code sequences to the plurality of transmission signals. Each of the combinations of the Doppler shift amounts and the code sequences has at least one different from other combination. The number of multiplexes of the code sequence corresponding to at least one of the Doppler shift amounts in the combinations is different from the number of multiplexing of code sequences corresponding to the remaining Doppler shift amounts.
