1. A vehicle radar apparatus comprising:
a transmitting array antenna configured to radiate radar signals for forward detection;
N receiving array antennas configured to receive the radar signals reflected from a target after being radiated from the transmitting array antenna; and
a controller configured to estimate an elevation of the target using a phase difference between an offset receiving array antenna from among the N receiving array antennas and non-offset receiving array antennas from among the N receiving array antennas and an azimuth of the target.
