A radar apparatus includes a retrieval unit, an estimation unit, a calculation unit, and a determination unit. The retrieval unit retrieves a strong reflection object based on a signal strength which a frequency spectrum of a beat signal generated by mixing a transmission signal which is frequency-modulated and emitted and a reception signal which is formed in the transmission signal is reflected on a target indicates. The estimation unit estimates an estimation orientation which is an orientation of a target assumed to be present around the strong reflection object, based on a relative distance to the strong reflection object. The calculation unit calculates power which is the signal strength for the estimation orientation by generating an orientation spectrum in the estimation orientation based on a frequency component corresponding to the relative distance. The determination unit determines whether there is the target in the estimation orientation based on the power. |
