1. A beamforming apparatus, comprising:
a non-flat substrate;
an antenna array comprising a plurality of antenna units and disposed on the non-flat substrate;
an adjusting circuit coupled to the antenna array and configured to adjust a signal of at least one of the antenna units according to a shape of the non-flat substrate and a predetermined signal angle; and
a controller coupled to the adjusting circuit and configured to:
select at least two first units from the antenna units to transmit and receive electromagnetic waves according to the predetermined signal angle and a half-power beam width; and
select a reference point according to a predetermined direction of signal (DOS), wherein a tangent plane corresponding to the reference point and a surface on the non-flat substrate where the reference point is located is perpendicular to the predetermined direction of signal.
