A radar device for a mobile body, such as a vehicle, having a high degree
of installation freedom. The radar device comprises a sensor body
transmitting and receiving electromagnetic waves, and path changing means
placed in an electromagnetic wave path through which the electromagnetic
waves pass and changing the propagation direction of the electromagnetic
waves by refraction and/or reflection. Even when the installation site of
the sensor body is restricted by requirements on a mobile body on which
this radar device is to be mounted, the sensor body can be installed at
the restricted site by changing the propagation direction of
electromagnetic waves appropriately, while maintaining the functions of
the sensor body appropriately.
