Abstract
The radar apparatus includes an antenna device including a transmitting antenna and a receiving antenna, and a main body which generates an FMCW-modulated radar wave, transmits the radar wave from the transmitting antenna at a transmit timing, and receives the radar wave reflected from an obstacle by the receiving antenna at a receive timing, the transmit timing and the receive timing temporally overlap each other at least partially. The radar apparatus further includes a cover member covering the main body and the antenna device on a side of a transmission direction of the radar wave and located out of contact with the main body and the antenna device, the cover member having a transmission portion allowing the radar wave to pass therethrough, a surface of the transmission portion facing the antenna device being out of perpendicular alignment with the transmission direction.
