Abstract
A radar apparatus is provided, which can enhance resolution by data processing. The radar apparatus includes a radar wave transmitter, a radar wave receiver, and an analyzing module. The analyzing module analyzes data received by the radar wave receiver, stores amplitude data and speed data of a target object for every cell in a predetermined coordinate system, and processes, based on the data, the amplitude data of an observing cell in the predetermined coordinate system associated with speed. The analyzing module determines whether an absolute value of a speed difference between adjacent cells and adjacent to the observing cell while the observing cell is located therebetween, is a threshold or higher, and the analyzing module performs processing of reducing the amplitude of the observing cell if the absolute value is the threshold or higher.
