First Claim
Patent Images
1. A millimeter wave-radar comprising:
- an antenna base having a transmission/reception antenna;
a housing fixing the antenna base; and
at least a radome or a radar cover enclosing the antenna base;
wherein the radome or the radar cover has a dielectric constant which progressively increases from a front of the transmission/reception antenna toward a side of the antenna.

Abstract
A millimeter-wave radar has a radome or radar cover including a layer, the dielectric constant of which is a greater than that of the other portion without the layer, or including a magnetic loss layer in an appropriate position with respect to the antenna. The dielectric constant of the radome or radar cover can be made higher in a portion corresponding to the side of the antenna than in a portion corresponding to the front of the antenna.
