A spread spectrum radar apparatus includes: a transmission unit which generates a spread signal that is a spectrum-spread signal, using a first oscillator signal, a second oscillator signal, and a transmission PN code, and which emits the spread signal as a detection radio wave; and a reception unit which receives, as a reception signal, the detection radio wave reflected from an object, and which generates an intermediate frequency signal by despreading the reception signal based on the first oscillator signal and a reception PN code obtained by delaying the transmission PN code.
