Abstract
A radar apparatus includes a transmitting analog front-end circuit, a plurality of antenna ports, a switching controller, a switching circuit, and a receiving analog front-end circuit. The transmitting analog front-end circuit generates a transmitting signal according to a carrier wave signal. A frequency of the carrier wave signal changes with time during a frequency sweep period of the carrier wave signal. The antenna ports are respectively configured to receive an echo signal corresponding to the transmitting signal. The switching controller is coupled to the transmitting analog front-end circuit and configured to generate a control signal according to the frequency sweep period of the carrier wave signal. The switching circuit is coupled to the antenna ports and the switching controller, configured to select one of the antenna ports to receive the echo signal according to the control signal, and coupled to the receiving analog front-end circuit.
