Abstract: An antenna device for automotive radar applications including an antenna assembly which comprises a front face in which at least one antenna aperture is arranged, configured to receive an incoming signal in form of primary rays impacting in the at least one antenna aperture. The front face of the antenna assembly further includes adjacent to the at least one antenna aperture scattering elements by which primary rays, impacting an area of the scattering elements, are at least partially reflected by the scattering elements and thereby separated into first secondary rays and second secondary rays, such that the first secondary rays and the second secondary rays cancel out each other at least partially by interference.

Abstract: A waveguide antenna with an antenna proximal side and an antenna distal side. A number of waveguide openings for transmitting and/or receiving electromagnetic signals to and/or from an environmental space is arranged at the antenna distal side. The waveguide antenna includes an antenna interface structure that includes interface waveguide apertures arranged in an interface carrying surface that extends transverse to a normal axis. Each interface waveguide aperture is coupled with at least one associated waveguide opening such that the respective interface waveguide aperture and the associated waveguide opening(s) are offset with respect to each other transverse to the normal axis. Each interface waveguide aperture and at least one coupled waveguide opening are configured for transmitting and/or receiving electromagnetic signals with respective polarizations rotated against each other.
