Abstract:
Using an array antenna in which a spacing between adjacent antenna elements is constant, each of combinations of two antenna elements in positions symmetrical relative to a center of an array is connected by wire connections in two paths, and a path length between the antenna elements in the combination of two antenna elements is the same in all of the combinations: a phase adjustment amount is calculated for each wire connection aside from a reference wire connection on the basis of an arrival direction of a wireless signal received by one antenna element in the combination of two antenna elements and a re-radiation direction of a wireless signal transmitted as a re-radiated wave by the other antenna element corresponding to the one antenna element, taking into account a phase difference between a signal transmitted by the wire connections connected to the one antenna element and a signal transmitted by the reference wire connection; and phase rotation is applied to the signal transmitted by the wire connections aside from the reference wire connection in accordance with the calculated phase adjustment amount.
