Abstract

Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for controlling a radar. More specifically, disclosed is a method of setting detection modes of a radar mounted to a vehicle and controlling radar transmission signals according to the detection modes. An embodiment provides an apparatus for controlling a radar including: a target detector configured to detect targets around a vehicle and classify the detected targets; a transmission pattern setter configured to set a transmission pattern of transmission signals, based on at least one piece of detection distance information of the detected targets, detection location information, detection height information, and information on a number of detected targets; and a transmission signal controller configured to select at least one array antenna from a plurality of array antennas according to the transmission pattern and radiate the transmission signals through the selected array antenna, a method thereof, and a system.
