Vehicle surroundings monitoring device

Abstract

A transmitting antenna (2) which is mounted in the interior of a door mirror of a vehicle and radiates transmitted waves through the surface of said door mirror, and a receiving antenna (3) that receives reflective waves from an object existing near the vehicle through the surface of said door mirror are rotated by a drive portion equipped within the door mirror. Also, the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna are fixed to a support portion (15) that supports the surface of the door mirror; and the support portion is joined to the drive portion by a joint portion (14) and rotates vertically and horizontally with the joint portion (14) as a fulcrum, to thereby vertically and horizontally rotate the transmitting antenna (2) and the receiving antenna (3) with the joint portion as the fulcrum. Further, the support portion of the door mirror surface, the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna are molded integrally.
