This array antenna is an array antenna to be used for beam forming and includes: a plurality of antenna elements; a ground; a dielectric provided between the plurality of antenna elements and the ground, the dielectric having an electrical length, from the plurality of antenna elements to the ground, of not less than 0.03; and a shield structure provided at least between the plurality of antenna elements and configured to shield a radio wave radiated from each antenna element.

Array antenna

A wiring module includes: a functional sheet disposed between a roof panel forming a roof part of a vehicle and an interior member forming a ceiling shape of a vehicle interior to planarly extend over the roof panel and the interior member; and a transmission member provided on the functional sheet, wherein the functional sheet includes a layer having at least one of a heat insulation function, an acoustic insulation function, and a radio wave shielding function, the transmission member is electrically connected to a vehicle-side apparatus mounted to a side of the vehicle, and the transmission member is formed to extend to a position where the transmission member can perform a power supply to or communication with a roof-side apparatus mounted to the roof part in the functional sheet.

Wiring module

A wiring module includes: a sheet which is a member extending planarly and including an easy-fracture part sectioning the sheet into a plurality of areas and capable of dividing the sheet into the areas; and a transmission member including one of or both a power line supplying an electrical power to at least one apparatus provided in one or more of the plurality of areas and a signal line enabling communication with the apparatus, wherein, in a case where the transmission member is disposed over at least two areas, a part of a middle portion of the transmission member in relation to an end portion connected to the apparatus is fixed to a first area in the two areas, and the transmission member is laid without being fixed to a second area in the two areas.

A vehicle-mounted communication device that is to be mounted on a vehicle includes: a wireless communication unit that transmits an RF signal that includes data, and is capable of changing a communication method; an acquisition unit that acquires state information that indicates a state of the vehicle; and a control unit that performs switching control to change the communication method based on the state information acquired by the acquisition unit.
