Abstract
An element section includes at least one antenna element transmitting/receiving radio waves. Refracting sections refract unnecessary waves, which are radio waves emitted from the element section and traveling away from a detection area, in a rearward direction in which the unnecessary waves travel further than an antenna-formed surface having the at least one antenna element of the element section.
