  • Patent number: 11474196
    Abstract: A radar device includes: plural unit antennas, each including plural antenna elements configured to transmit or receive a radio wave, the plural antenna elements being aligned in a predetermined direction in a plane and connected by a transmission line. The plural unit antennas include a first unit antenna having plural antenna elements arranged asymmetrically with respect to a virtual straight line parallel to the predetermined direction, the virtual straight line passing through an antenna phase center of the first unit antenna, and a second unit antenna having plural antenna elements arranged asymmetrically with respect to a virtual straight line parallel to the predetermined direction passing through an antenna phase center of the second unit antenna. The plural antenna elements of the second unit antenna are arranged in a manner substantially symmetrical to the plural antenna elements of the first unit antenna with respect to the virtual straight line.

  • Patent number: 10734734
    Abstract: An antenna device according to an embodiment includes a main line, radiating elements, and feed lines. The radiating elements are arranged along the main line and radiate radio waves. The feed lines connect the main line and the respective radiating elements. Moreover, the feed lines are inserted into the respective radiating elements by inserted lengths so that an electrical coupling degree between one of the feed lines and corresponding one of the radiating elements is larger as the one feed line is located closer to a leading end than a base end of the main line.

  • Patent number: 10340605
    Abstract: There is provided a planar antenna device having a first antenna and a second antenna arranged on a front surface of a substrate to be set in parallel to an up and down direction. The first antenna and the second antenna are arranged such that the magnitude of the difference between the lengths of predetermined sections of the transmission line parts becomes one of a positive odd multiple of a half wavelength of the guide wavelength of electric waves which can be transmitted in the transmission line parts and a positive even multiple of a half wavelength of the guide wavelength. The predetermined sections are provided in sections from the connection parts to the antenna elements.

  • Patent number: 9972900
    Abstract: Provided is a distributor capable of reducing insertion loss while suppressing a ratio in power distribution among output lines from being changed. The distributor 4 is a distributor that is connected with an input line Lin and output lines Lo1 to Lo3 respectively formed on a dielectric substrate 10 as microstrip lines, and distributes to the output lines Lo1 to Lo3 high frequency power fed from a feeding point to a branching point through the input line Lin. In addition, the distributor 4 is configured to include a stub area 42 that is formed in the input line Lin, is separated from the branching point 41, and has a rectangular shape wider than line widths of a first area La and a second area Lb of the input line Lin.

  • Patent number: 9705196
    Abstract: In an antenna, an antenna element interval is reduced without depending on an interval between converters, to widen the range of a phase folding angle to widen a detection angle range. The antenna includes a first antenna element including a feeder line extending from a first converter and a plurality of radiating elements. A second antenna element includes a feeder line extending from a second converter aligned together with the first converter and a plurality of radiating elements. The first and second antenna elements respectively include, at partial line portions of the feeder lines which extend from the converters to closest radiating elements, bend portions which are bent in directions which the bend portions come close to each other. The partial line portions of the first and second antenna elements are disposed so as to be linearly symmetrical about a virtual line.
