ABSTRACT:
In a vehicle mounted radar apparatus such as a pulse Doppler radar, electromagnetic waves produced by an oscillator can be prevented from returning therefrom a reception system by means of a transmission system. The vehicle mounted radar apparatus includes the oscillator for generating electromagnetic waves, a transmitter for transmitting the electromagnetic waves generated by the oscillator to a target, a receiver for receiving electromagnetic waves reflected from the target, a switch for connecting the transmitter to an antenna during transmission of the electromagnetic waves, and for connecting the antenna to the receiver during reception of the electromagnetic waves, a signal processor for calculating a distance between the vehicle and the target, and also a relative speed between the vehicle and the target based upon the electromagnetic waves transmitted to the target and reflected from the target, and a power supply interrupter for interrupting the supply of voltage to the transmitter. Accordingly, during reception of the electromagnetic waves, the supply of voltage to the transmitter is turned off by the power supply interrupter, so that transfer of the electromagnetic waves from the transmitter to the receiver can be prevented.
