Abstract

Disclosed is a radar antenna which has a shielding space corresponding to each antenna of an antenna body by using an accommodation hole of a shielding member to prevent mutual coupling between antennas. The disclosed radar antenna comprises an antenna body which has a first surface and a second surface and in which a plurality first slot groups are formed to be spaced apart from each other on the first surface, and a shielding member which is stacked on the first surface of the antenna body and in which a plurality of accommodation holes are formed to respectively overlap the plurality of first slot groups.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A radar antenna comprising:
an antenna body which has a first surface and a second surface and in which a plurality of first slot groups are formed to be spaced apart from one another on the first surface;
a shielding member which is stacked on the first surface of the antenna body and in which a plurality of accommodation holes are formed to overlap the plurality of first slot groups, respectively; and
a slot member formed in a metal frame shape and configured to be inserted into a first slot formed on the antenna body.

2. The radar antenna of claim 1 , wherein each first slot group of the plurality of first slot groups comprises a plurality of first slots in a matrix arrangement.

3. The radar antenna of claim 1 , wherein the first surface of the antenna body comprises a plurality of areas in which a plurality of first slots are disposed.

4. The radar antenna of claim 3 , wherein the plurality of accommodation holes overlap the plurality of areas in which the plurality of first slots are disposed.

5. The radar antenna of claim 1 , wherein the first surface of the antenna body and inner walls of the accommodation holes of the shielding member form shielding spaces.

6. The radar antenna of claim 1 , wherein the inner walls of the accommodation holes are spaced apart from outer peripheries of areas occupied by a first slot group over a predetermined distance.

7. The radar antenna of claim 1 , wherein inner walls of the accommodation holes are spaced apart from the outer peripheries of the areas formed by a plurality of first slots included in a first slot group over the predetermined distance.

8. The radar antenna of claim 1 , wherein the shielding member comprises a plurality of shielding plates stacked on the antenna body to be spaced apart from one another,
two or more accommodation holes are formed on a shielding plate of the shielding member, and
the shielding plate of the shielding member is stacked on the antenna body so as to overlap two or more first slot groups of the plurality of first slot groups.

9. The radar antenna of claim 8 , wherein a protrusion part extending in an outward direction is formed on at least one of the plurality of shielding plates.

10. The radar antenna of claim 8 , wherein a part of at least one of the plurality of shielding plates is removed, and a groove part formed in an inward direction of the shielding plates is formed thereon.

11. The radar antenna of claim 1 , wherein the shielding member comprises a plurality of shielding blocks stacked on the antenna body to be spaced apart from one another,
one accommodation hole is formed on a shielding block of the shielding member, and
the shielding block of the shielding member is stacked on the antenna body so as to overlap one first slot group of the plurality of first slot groups.

12. The radar antenna of claim 1 , wherein the shielding member comprises a chamfer part chamfered along a corner formed by an accommodation hole.

13. The radar antenna of claim 12 , wherein the chamfer part is formed by chamfering the corner in a direction of the first surface of the shielding member.
