The device has printed circuit boards (1-3) including a transmission circuit section (4) intended to generate and transmit radar signals, and a receiving circuit section (5) intended to receive and recycle the radar signals. Each of the printed circuit boards includes a planar surface, where normal vectors to the planar surfaces of the printed circuit boards point in different directions. The normal vectors are located with respect to each other at an angle greater than or equal to 5 degrees, where the printed circuit boards are mechanically connected. Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Radarvorrichtung mit wenigstens zwei Leiterplatten (1, 2, 3), wobei die Radarvorrichtung eine Schaltung hat, wenigstens einen Sende-Schaltungsabschnitt (4) hat, der geeignet und eingerichtet ist, Radarsignale zur erzeugen und zu senden, und die wenigstens einen Empfangs-Schaltungsabschnitt (5) hat, der geeignet und eingerichtet ist, Radarsignale zu empfangen und aufzubereiten, wobei jede der Leiterplatten (1, 2, 3) wenigstens eine ebene Fläche hat, wobei Normalvektoren zu den ebenen Flächen der Leiterplatten (1, 2, 3) in unterschiedliche Richtungen zeigen.
