Abstract
A radar apparatus of the present invention is provided with a reception array antenna having a plurality of antenna elements, a first bearing detector for detecting a bearing of a target by carrying out signal processing on individual element signals received on an element-by-element basis through the respective antenna elements, and a second bearing detector for detecting a bearing of a target by carrying out signal processing different from that of the first bearing detector, on the individual element signals received through the respective antenna elements. Since the radar apparatus is provided with the two detectors of the first bearing detector and second bearing detector as means for acquiring the target bearing, both or either one of the results of detection by the two detectors can be selectively utilized as occasion demands.
