A primary radiator including a waveguide formed by winding a metallic plate into a cylindrical shape and superimposing both ends thereof at a joining portion. Two first flat portions and two second flat portions, extending in the direction of the central axis of the waveguide, are formed so that a first flat portion and a second flat portion alternate at intervals of substantially 90 degrees, thereby forming a total of four flat portions. A dielectric feeder includes a radiator section, an impedance converting section, and a phase converting section. By inserting the dielectric feeder into the inside portion of the waveguide, both side surfaces of the phase converting section are press-fitted/secured to the first flat portions, and both mounting surfaces at the outer peripheral surface of the impedance converting section are press-fitted/secured to the second flat portions, so that the phase converting section intersects at an angle of approximately 45 degrees a probe protruding from the phase converting section in the direction of the central axis of the waveguide.
