Abstract: In the present invention transmission radars (1-nTX) (nTX=1 2 … NTX) are configured so as to generate modulation codes Code(nTX h) different from one another by cyclic-shifting the same code sequence by cyclic-shitting amounts ?t (nTX) different from one another and to generate transmission RF signals (4-nTX) different from one another by using the different modulation codes Code(nTX h). Thus target detection accuracy can be enhanced by increasing the number of transmission radars 1-nTX more than when orthogonal codes are used as modulation codes different from one another.

4. The radar apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the signal processor includes an integration unit for integrating the signal subjected to the code demodulation performed by the code demodulating unit, and outputting the integrated signal to the target detecting unit.
5. The radar apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the integration unit includes a first integration unit for coherently integrating the signal subjected to the code demodulation performed by the code demodulating unit, by performing hit-direction complex integration on the signal subjected to the code demodulation.
6. The radar apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the integration unit includes a second integration unit for integrating the signal integrated by the first integration unit, on a basis of positions of the plurality of transmission radars, a position of the reception radar, and an assumed value of an angle with the target.
7.
