Abstract:
An inexpensive and compact antenna device having a direction measurement function is provided. A radar antenna device includes a radome, an antenna, and a magnetic direction measurement part. The antenna transmits and receives a radio wave while rotating inside the radome. The magnetic direction measurement part is accommodated in the radome, and measures a direction of the radar antenna device based on the detected magnetism.
