A microstrip antenna includes at least one dielectric material forming a dielectric layer structure having a first main side, at least one antenna structure formed on the first main side; and a ground plane. The dielectric layer structure is positioned between said antenna structure and the ground plane (). Each of said at least one antenna structure comprises a microstrip conductor that in turn comprises a slot structure. For each of said at least one antenna structure, the microstrip conductor and the slot structure mainly extend in the direction of a longitudinal extension.

A waveguide antenna for a radar antenna array, particularly for use in motor vehicles, includes a metal waveguide extending in an x direction and having a longitudinal axis, which, for the propagation of a radar wave of a first mode in the x direction, delimits an inner space, wherein in order to specifically convert the first mode to a second mode of the radar wave which is different from the first mode and to couple the second mode out of the waveguide, a plurality of structural elements arranged in the x direction are provided which extend into the inner space and wherein adjacent structural elements have a distance which is larger than half a waveguide wavelength of the radar wave of the first mode or larger than half a free-space wavelength, depending on which of the two wavelengths is smaller.
