Radar apparatus, radar apparatus controlling method

摘要

A radar apparatus (10) comprises: a transmitter unit having a high-frequency oscillating unit (13) whose oscillation frequency is variable, and a pulse amplitude modulating unit (14) for amplitude-modulating a pulse of a transmission high-frequency signal output from the high-frequency oscillating unit (13) with a first control pulse signal; a receiver unit having a gating unit (17) for controlling ON/OFF of an input of a received high-frequency signal with a second control pulse signal; and a controlling and signal processing unit for controlling the transmitter unit and the receiver unit, and for switching a first operation mode for making the apparatus function as an FM-CW radar, and a second operation mode for making the apparatus function as a pulse radar.
