Abstract

According to one embodiment, an antenna apparatus comprises a leaky coaxial cable, a first housing, a second housing and a connecting unit. The first housing configured to retain a part of one end of the leaky coaxial cable. The second housing configured to retain a part of other end of the leaky coaxial cable. The connecting unit configured to connect the first housing with the second housing such that the direction of the second housing relative to the first housing can be alerted.

Claims

1. An antenna apparatus, comprising:

a leaky coaxial cable;

a first housing configured to retain a part of one end of the leaky coaxial cable;

a second housing configured to retain a part of other end of the leaky coaxial cable; and

a connecting unit configured to connect the first housing with the second housing such that the direction of the second housing relative to the first housing can be alerted.

2. The antenna apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a supporting table configured to rotatably support the end which is not connected with the second housing of the first housing.

3. The antenna apparatus according to claim 2, wherein

the supporting table supports the first housing at an orientation in which the region retained by the first housing of the leaky coaxial cable is along a vertical direction.

4. The antenna apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a shielding member which is removable on a part of the second housing and shields an electromagnetic wave radiated from a region retain by the second housing of the leaky coaxial cable.

5. The antenna apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

the first housing retains a part of the leaky coaxial cable so as to be straight line.

6. The antenna apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

the second housing retains a part of the leaky coaxial cable so as to be straight line.
