Abstract
In a radar apparatus, either a plurality of transmission antennas or a plurality of reception antennas include a first antenna group disposed in a first direction and a second antenna group disposed in a second direction different from the first direction, and an other of the plurality of transmission antennas and the plurality of reception antennas include a third antenna group disposed in a third direction different from each of the first direction and the second direction.
Claims21
A radar apparatus, comprising:
- transmission circuitry, which, in operation, transmits a transmission signal using a plurality of transmission antennas;
- and
- reception circuitry, which, in operation, receives a reflected wave signal using a plurality of reception antennas, the reflected wave signal being the transmission signal reflected by an object, wherein
- either the plurality of transmission antennas or the plurality of reception antennas include a first antenna group disposed in a first direction and a second antenna group disposed in a second direction different from the first direction, and
- an other of the plurality of transmission antennas and the plurality of reception antennas include a third antenna group disposed in a third direction different from each of the first direction and the second direction.
A method for transmitting and receiving a radar signal, comprising:
- transmitting a transmission signal using a plurality of transmission antennas;
- and
- receiving a reflected wave signal using a plurality of reception antennas, the reflected wave signal being the transmission signal reflected by an object, wherein
- either the plurality of transmission antennas or the plurality of reception antennas include a first antenna group disposed in a first direction and a second antenna group disposed in a second direction different from the first direction, and
- an other of the plurality of transmission antennas and the plurality of reception antennas include a third antenna group disposed in a third direction different from each of the first direction and the second direction.
