Title:
ANTENNA DEVICE AND SEARCH DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2021072532
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To enhance a circular polarization characteristic.SOLUTION: An antenna device in the embodiment includes at least four first to N-th circular polarization antennas arranged in a plane, and a phase adjustment circuit for adjusting phase relation of first to N-th signals transmitted from the first to N-th circular polarization antennas or first to N-th signals received by the first to N-th circular polarization antennas. The first to M-th circular polarization antennas and the (M+1)-th to N-th circular polarization antennas are arranged at positions which are symmetrical in plane. The first to N-th circular polarization antennas are rotated at different first to N-th angles with respect to a first direction parallel to the first to N-th circular polarization antennas. The phase adjustment circuit sets the phases of the first to M-th signals to the first to M-th phases corresponding to the first to M-th angles, and sets the phases of the (M+1)-th to N-th signals to the (M+1)-th to N-th phases obtained by adding a first value to the phases corresponding to the (M+1)-th to N-th angles.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
