Abstract

In a terminal position estimation system, a terminal position estimation apparatus, or a terminal position estimation method, an electric wave is received by a reception antenna of a communication terminal and is transmitted from multiple transmission antennas. A communication terminal position is estimated based on a magnetic field strength of the electric wave. When the communication terminal position is estimated, a position satisfying an approximate expression is estimated as the communication terminal position. The approximate expression shows a magnetic field strength distribution and is expressed by two variables of a distance from the multiple transmission antennas to the communication terminal and an angle between an axial direction of the multiple transmission antennas and a direction in which the communication terminal is positioned.
