US Patent 11867793 Vehicle radar apparatus and control method thereof

The vehicle radar apparatus may include a transmitting array antenna configured to radiate radar signals for forward detection, N receiving array antennas configured to receive the radar signals reflected from a target after being radiated from the transmitting array antenna, and a control unit configured to estimate an azimuth of the target by using non-offset receiving array antennas among the N receiving array antennas and estimate an elevation of the target by using a phase difference between an offset receiving array antenna and the non-offset receiving array antenna among the N receiving array antennas and the azimuth of the target.
