An automotive radar having a high level of azimuth accuracy and a broad
detectable range by virtue of preventing leaks of unnecessary waves to
receiving antennas is to be provided. A transmitting array antenna 1 and
receiving array antennas 2a, 2b are arranged on an antenna plate
(grounding conductor plate) 3 which serves to ground the antennas, and
radio wave absorbers 4 are arranged on two sides of the edges 15 of the
antenna plate 3. The radio wave absorbers 4 may be configured of, for
instance, a sponge material containing radio wave absorbing grains.
