Abstract
According to one embodiment, an antenna device includes an antenna, a first circuit, a second circuit and a control processing circuit. The antenna receives a radio wave signal and separates the radio wave signal into a right-hand circularly polarized wave signal and a left-hand circularly polarized wave signal. The first circuit divides the right-hand circularly polarized wave signal into a first right-hand circularly polarized wave signal and a second right-hand circularly polarized wave signal. The second circuit divides the left-hand circularly polarized wave signal into a first left-hand circularly polarized wave signal and a second left-hand circularly polarized wave signal. The control processing circuit detects a phase difference between the first right-hand circularly polarized wave signal and the first left-hand circularly polarized wave signal.
