A radar sensor for recording the environment of a motor vehicle, comprising: - transmission means for emitting transmission signals using several transmitter antennae, - receiving means for receiving transmission signals reflected by objects using several receiver antennae; and - signal processing means for processing the received signals, wherein it is equipped with several transmitter antennae and several receiver antennae, each containing at least one individual transmitting or receiving element, referred to henceforth as an elemental emitter, which is located on the front or back of a level printed circuit board (1.3), - it is equipped with at least one transmitter antenna and one receiver antenna, each containing at least one elemental emitter located on the level printed circuit board (1.3), the beam cone centre of which elemental emitter is tilted outside the radar sensor at a maximum of 45° to the perpendicular on the printed circuit board (1.3), - it is equipped with at least one transmitter antenna and one receiver antenna, each containing at least one elemental emitter located on the level printed circuit board (1.3), the beam cone centre of which elemental emitter is tilted outside the radar sensor at more than 45° to the perpendicular on the printed circuit board (1.3), characterized in that a tilting of the beam cone centre of one or more elemental emitters outside the radar sensor by more than 45° to the perpendicular on the printed circuit board is realised in that elemental emitters are used in a printed structure, the beam cone centre of which without additional means is at least approximately perpendicular to the printed circuit board (1.3) and which are therefore referred to henceforth as frontal elemental emitters, and in order to tilt the beam cone centre of these frontal elemental emitters which are preferably located close to the edge of the printed circuit board (1.3) and, consequently, to realise laterally radiating elemental emitters, at least one of the following measures is used: - deflection of the beam path of the elemental emitters with reflecting, in particular metal or metallised level or curved faces, by means of the elemental emitters, wherein the faces are designed as part of an inner support (1.4) or a housing (1.1), - deflection of the beam path of the elemental emitters with waveguide structures, - deflection of the beam path of the elemental emitters with suitably formed structures made of a dielectric material, in particular by means of the elemental emitters and wherein the dielectric material is part of a plastic housing (1.1). - transmission means for emitting transmission signals using several transmitter antennae, - receiving means for receiving transmission signals reflected by objects using several receiver antennae;
