Zusammenfassung:In an antenna apparatus, a transmitting antenna includes transmitting-side unit antennas arranged in an arranging-direction at transmitting-side arrangement intervals. Receiving antennas are arranged in the arranging-direction at arrangement intervals. Each of the receiving antennas includes receiving-side unit antennas arranged in the arranging-direction at receiving-side arrangement intervals. The receiving-side arrangement interval is larger than the transmitting-side arrangement interval. A transmission- and reception composition characteristic, which is a composition of directivities of the transmitting antenna and receiving antenna, has a main lobe including a detection angle range. The transmitting-side arrangement interval and the receiving-side arrangement interval are determined so that, in the detection angle range, a ratio of the intensity of the main lobe of the transmission-and-reception composition characteristic at a given angle in the detection angle range to the intensity of the transmission-and-reception composition characteristic generated as a false image at the angle by wrap around becomes not less than a threshold.
