Abstract
A measuring circuit is provided including a reception strength acquisition unit () that acquires reception strengths of received signals received from respective transmitting stations by an antenna () having a predetermined directivity; a direction component information acquisition unit () that acquires azimuth angle information and elevation angle information, obtained from each of the received signals with respect to a position of the antenna () used as a reference, of the each of the transmitting stations; a pattern generation unit () that maps a three-dimensional vector of the azimuth angle information, the elevation angle information, and the reception strength of each of the received signals to a virtual three-dimensional space with the antenna () being an origin to generate a first reception strength pattern; and a comparison unit () that compares the generated first reception strength pattern with a second reception strength pattern that is a known reception strength pattern to acquire an inclination of the antenna ().
