A radar includes a transmitter circuit, a receiver circuit, an antenna and
a circulator. The receiver circuit includes a low-noise amplifier which
amplifies a received signal fed from the antenna through the circulator.
A local oscillator provided in the receiver circuit generates a local
oscillator signal of which frequency is approximately half the frequency
of the received signal, and the local oscillator signal is amplified by a
buffer amplifier. An even harmonic mixer including an anti-parallel diode
pair also provided in the receiver circuit as a frequency converter mixes
the received signal output from the low-noise amplifier with the local
oscillator signal output from the buffer amplifier to generate and output
an intermediate frequency signal.
