  • Patent number: 11189913
    Abstract: An antenna structure serving as a radar emitter with extended long range function comprises a radiating element comprised of radiating units connected in series by a feeder. Each two adjacent radiating units are spaced apart from each other by a specified distance. Lengths of the radiating units are same, and width of the radiating units gradually decreases from a center to ends. The feeder transmits a current signal to the radiating element. The radiating element emits a radar beam based on the current signal.
