Abstract

A radar antenna with director includes a first main body and a second main body. The first main body has a receiving channel and two first transmission channels. The receiving channel receives a signal source, and a splitter provided between the two first transmission channels splits the signal source into two first radiative signals and transmits the same through the first transmission channels. The second main body is located at one side of the first main body. The second main body has two second primary transmission channels, and two second secondary transmission channels flanking the two second primary transmission channels. The second primary transmission channel each has a primary receiving hole. The second secondary transmission channel and the corresponding second primary transmission channel are communicated through a coupling hole. The first radiative signal is split into two second radiative signals through coupling by the coupling hole.
