Abstract
In a radar target position detecting apparatus, beams (, for example, light beams) irradiated from a transmitter(, for example, LED) have a predetermined divergence angle, a plurality of light (beam) receiving elements such as photodiode arrays each having a different receiving angle (directivity) are arranged in an array form, and a direction of a reflected wave (beam) is identified according to a position of the arrayed beam (wave) receiving elements in the array at which the reflected wave (beam) is captured.
