ABSTRACT:
An array antenna includes a plurality of patches arrayed on a first surface of a base board and a plurality of feeders connected to the respective patches so as to radiate or receive an electromagnetic wave via the patches. The patches include a plurality of first patches and a plurality of second patches. The feeders connected to the first patches are formed on the first surface of the base board, while the feeders connected to the second patches are formed on a second surface of the base board. Further, first and second transmitting and receiving circuits are provided on the first and second surfaces, respectively, of the base board, so as to provide an antenna device. The first transmitting and receiving circuit feeds or receives electrical signals to or from the first patches, while the second transmitting and receiving circuit feeds or receives electrical signals to or from the second patches. The first and second transmitting and receiving circuits are both positioned on the same side of the arrayed patches. With such arrangements, the directivities of a first antenna unit with the first patches and of a second antenna unit with the second patches can be made different from each other, and the overall size of the antenna device can be reduced to a considerable degree.
