Abstract:
There are provided a communication excitation distribution calculating unit (11) that calculates an excitation distribution W1(t) of a communication beam using an excitation phase distribution S that directs a main lobe of the communication beam in a communication direction; an interference excitation distribution calculating unit (14) that calculates an excitation distribution W2(t) of an interference beam using an excitation phase distribution D that forms a null of an antenna pattern in the communication direction; and an excitation distribution combining unit (20) that combines the excitation distribution W1(t) of the communication beam and the excitation distribution W2(t) of the interference beam. An amplitude/phase controlling unit (30) controls amplitudes and phases of carrier signals to be provided to element antennas (3-1) to (3-K), in accordance with the combined excitation distribution obtained by the excitation distribution combining unit (20).
