    Abstract: The disclosure provides a radar apparatus, a signal processing circuit, and a signal processing method for radar apparatus. The radar apparatus includes a frequency synthesizer, a signal generator, and a transmitting front-end circuit. The frequency synthesizer generates a carrier signal. A frequency of the carrier signal changes with time within a sweep period of the carrier signal, and the carrier signal includes a frequency raising section and a frequency decreasing section. The signal generator generates a shaping signal. The shaping signal includes two sections. The two sections have different amplitudes. One of the two sections corresponds to a turn-around section between the frequency raising section and the frequency decreasing section. The transmitting front-end circuit is coupled to the frequency synthesizer and the signal generator and generates a transmitting signal according to the carrier signal and the shaping signal. In this way, the spurious peak on the spectrum is reduced.
