Abstract: This waveguide comprises: a first multilayered board in which a first dielectric layer and a plurality of first conductive layers the latter of which has a first opening are stacked; a first through via group in which a plurality of first through vias for electrically connecting the first conductive layers are aligned, in an in-plane direction of the first multilayered board, at intervals that are equal to or less than the one-half wavelength of an electromagnetic wave that is to be caused to propagate through the waveguide; and a second through via group in which a plurality of second through vias for electrically connecting the first conductive layers are aligned at said intervals in the in-plane direction. The waveguide does not have any through vias other than the plurality of first through vias and the plurality of second through vias. The first through via group and the second through via group are arranged, in the in-plane direction, in a direction orthogonal to the direction of the electric field of signals propagating in the thickness direction of the first multilayered board and are opposed to each other with the first opening therebetween.

Abstract: A light apparatus mounted on a vehicle includes a lamp unit having: a first cover, and a light source that emits light through a first cover into a predetermined area including a first direction. The light apparatus also includes: a radar unit provided on a lower side or an upper side of the lamp unit, and a separator provided between the lamp unit and the radar unit. The radar unit includes: a circuit board having a board surface arranged in a substantially horizontal state, and an antenna unit that transmits an electromagnetic wave in a range including a second direction different from the first direction and that receives a reflected wave from an object existing outside the vehicle. The antenna unit is arranged in the board surface.

Abstract: An in-vehicle light apparatus for a vehicle is provided and includes lamp radar units. The lamp unit includes a light source and a reflector arranged around the light source and outputting light from an opening area of the reflector to a predetermined region including in a first direction. The radar unit is provided on a lower or upper side of the lamp unit and includes a circuit board having a board surface arranged in a substantially horizontal state and an antenna unit that transmits an electromagnetic wave and receives a reflected wave in a second direction. The opening area extends in a third direction different from the first direction and the second direction in plan view, and a direction perpendicular to the second direction on the board surface is a direction intersecting the first direction and non-parallel to the third direction.

Abstract: This waveguide comprises: three or more conductor layers that are stacked; two or more dielectric layers that are stacked, each being formed between two conductor layers adjacent to each other among the three or more conductor layers; and a first via group and a second via group each including one or more vias disposed in at least one dielectric layer among the two or more dielectric layers. The first via group and the second via group are arrayed in parallel. Among the vias included in the first via group and the second via group, the vias disposed in at least one of the two or more dielectric layers differ in position on the plane of the dielectric layer from the vias disposed in the remaining dielectric layer.

Abstract: A radar apparatus includes a circuit board including a board surface provided with an antenna module for transmitting an electromagnetic wave, a housing accommodating the circuit board and including a facing wall facing the board surface, and a heat transfer module transferring heat generated inside the housing to the housing. The facing wall includes a transmission portion transmitting therethrough the electromagnetic wave transmitted from the antenna module and an absorption portion having a thickness different from the thickness of the transmission portion and absorbing the electromagnetic wave which is incident. The heat transfer module includes a first transfer member placed to be in contact with the absorption portion in the housing and a second transfer member transferring the heat to the first transfer member.
