Abstract
A radar apparatus is provided which is designed to form digital beams using beat signals each of which is produced by one of a plurality of receivers and analyze the frequency of the beat signals in units of the beams for obtaining data such as the distance to, relative speed, and azimuth of a target. The apparatus performs the complex Fourier Transform twice on beat signals in time series and space series along the array of receiving antennas to derive results of the frequency analysis in units of the beams, thereby resulting in simplified structure and decrease in operation load of the apparatus.
