Abstract

A radio wave environment display device includes a display unit that displays a radio wave environment and a controller. The radio wave environment display device displays a radio wave environment in an area where a plurality of wireless transmitters located at different positions transmit radio waves. The controller selects, at each of a plurality of points in the area, a maximum intensity among intensities that are magnitudes of received power of radio waves transmitted from the wireless transmitters and causes the display unit to display the radio wave environment at each of the plurality of points based on the maximum intensity selected and an arrival direction of a radio wave with the maximum intensity selected.
