Abstract

A measurement device includes a memory; and a hardware processor coupled to the memory. The hardware processor is configured to: detect a vibration width of an antenna that receives a measurement target radio wave from a target on which a communication system that transmits the measurement target radio wave is mounted, based on a first reception radio wave received by the antenna; and derive communication performance of the communication system, based on a second reception radio wave that is the measurement target radio wave received by the antenna when the vibration width is greater than 0 and equal to or smaller than a set width greater than 0.

Claims (21)

1 . A measurement device comprising:

a memory; and

a hardware processor coupled to the memory,

the hardware processor being configured to:

detect a vibration width of an antenna that receives a measurement target radio wave from a target on which a communication system that transmits the measurement target radio wave is mounted, based on a first reception radio wave received by the antenna; and

derive communication performance of the communication system, based on a second reception radio wave that is the measurement target radio wave received by the antenna when the vibration width is greater than 0 and equal to or smaller than a set width greater than 0.

2 . The measurement device according to claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor is configured to derive the communication performance based on the second reception radio wave when the vibration width is larger than 0 and equal to or smaller than the set width depending on a frequency of the measurement target radio wave.

3 . The measurement device according to claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor is configured to derive the communication performance based on the second reception radio wave when the vibration width is larger than 0 and equal to or smaller than the set width which is smaller as a frequency of the measurement target radio wave is higher.

4 . The measurement device according to claim 1 , wherein

the antenna receives a first transmission radio wave transmitted from a fixed wave source that is a radio wave transmission source in a stationary state, and

the hardware processor is configured to detect, as the vibration width of the antenna, a difference between a maximum amplitude and a minimum amplitude in a predetermined period of the first reception radio wave that is the first transmission radio wave received by the antenna.

5 . The measurement device according to claim 1 , the hardware processor is further configured to transmit a vibration-detecting radio wave from the antenna, wherein

the antenna receives a reflected wave of the vibration-detecting radio wave reflected by the target, and

the hardware processor is configured to detect the vibration width based on the first reception radio wave that is the reflected wave received by the antenna.

6 . The measurement device according to claim 5 , wherein the hardware processor is configured to detect, as the vibration width, at least one of a shake angle or a shake amount of the antenna corresponding to a difference between a distance between the antenna and the target derived based on the vibration-detecting radio wave and the first reception radio wave, and a set distance between the antenna and the target.

7 . A measurement method comprising:

detecting a vibration width of an antenna that receives a measurement target radio wave from a target on which a communication system that transmits the measurement target radio wave is mounted, based on a first reception radio wave received by the antenna; and

deriving communication performance of the communication system, based on a second reception radio wave that is the measurement target radio wave received by the antenna when the vibration width is greater than 0 and equal to or smaller than a set width greater than 0.

8 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium on which an executable program is recorded, the program instructing a computer to carry out:

detecting a vibration width of an antenna that receives a measurement target radio wave from a target on which a communication system that transmits the measurement target radio wave is mounted, based on a first reception radio wave received by the antenna; and

deriving communication performance of the communication system, based on a second reception radio wave that is the measurement target radio wave received by the antenna when the vibration width is greater than 0 and equal to or smaller than a set width greater than 0.
