Abstract
A radar system includes a transmitter circuit, which transmits a radar wave having a chirp frequency gradually increasing or decreasing to a target, and a frequency conversion circuit, which demodulates a signal of the radar wave reflected at the target by frequency-conversion in correspondence to the chirp frequency. A radar signal processor includes a variable amplifier connected to an output side of the frequency conversion circuit, and a feedback circuit which detects an output of the variable amplifier as a detection signal and feeds back a signal of a frequency band included in the detection signal to an input of the variable amplifier. The feedback circuit is configured to cut off and not cut off a frequency band including a DC offset transient response frequency, which occurs at time of frequency conversion by the frequency conversion circuit, during a specified period and a period other than the specified period, respectively. The specified period is a predetermined first period from starting of a demodulation operation of the frequency conversion circuit and/or a predetermined second period from ending of the demodulation operation of the frequency operation of the frequency conversion circuit.
