Abstract
The radar apparatus includes an antenna device including a transmitting antenna and a receiving antenna, a main body which generates a radar wave, transmits the radar wave from the transmitting antenna, and receives the radar wave reflected from an obstacle to be detected by the receiving antenna, and 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 has a transmission portion allowing the radar wave to pass therethrough, a surface of the transmission portion facing the antenna device being inclined by an angle greater than 3 degrees with respect to an antenna surface of the receiving antenna.
