The first series connection group (211, 311, 411) includes first transistors (T1_1 to T4_1). The second series connection group (212, 312, 412) includes second transistors (T1_2 to T4_2). When an electrostatic discharge event occurs, a voltage at control terminals of the first transistors (T1_1 to T4_1) are different from a voltage at control terminals of the second transistors (T1_2 to T4_2). In a normal operation state, switch states of the first series connection group (211, 311, 411) and the second series connection group (212, 312, 412) are the same as each other.

The radar apparatus (1, 1', 1") includes a transmitter (100, 100') and a receiver (200, 200', 200'-1, 200", 200"-1).

The phasor of sinewave form corresponding to the leakage situation (LS) relates to the phasor of another sinewave signal (SS2). Accordingly, the performance of receiver (200, 200', 200'-1, 200", 200"-1) may be improved effectively.
