Abstract
The present invention is related to a horizontally polarized wave antenna using a serial-feed mode. The antenna includes: a feeder line configured to receive a current supplied from a feeder unit installed to a vehicle; and a patch antenna unit configured to radiate an electromagnetic wave in a horizontal direction while being installed to serially extend in a vertical direction with respect to the ground in a shape that is bent in a zigzag form. The patch antenna unit includes a plurality of first patch elements and a plurality of second patches. With this arrangement, it is possible to realize a horizontally polarized wave with a high resolution by composing vectors of currents flowing in respective patch elements while keeping the entire size of a radar system small.
