Patent ID: 10498019

Abstract:
A scanning antenna (1000) in which a plurality of antenna units (U) are arranged, the scanning antenna including: a TFT substrate (101) including a first dielectric substrate (1), TFTs, gate bus lines, source bus lines, and patch electrodes (15); a slot substrate (201) including a second dielectric substrate (51) and a slot electrode (55) formed on a first main surface of the second dielectric substrate; a liquid crystal layer (LC) provided between the TFT substrate and the slot substrate; and a reflective conductive plate (65) disposed opposing via a dielectric layer (54) a second main surface opposite to the first main surface of the second dielectric substrate, (51) wherein the slot electrode includes slots disposed corresponding to the respective patch electrodes, and a heater part (68) is further provided on the outside of the TFT substrate (101) or on the outside of the slot substrate (201).
