Abstract
A patch array antenna includes a ground plane and a plurality of radiation elements that are disposed being distanced from the ground plane. A conductive metal member is disposed above a surface on which the plurality of radiation elements are disposed. The metal member overlaps with part of a region of each of the plurality of radiation elements in a direction orthogonal to an array direction of the patch array antenna and does not overlap with the other part of the region, and continuously extends from the radiation element at one end to the radiation element at the other end in the array direction.
