Abstract
An antenna control device includes a weight unit in which weight values to be superimposed on transmission/reception signals are set for forming radiation patterns using a plurality of antennas and a weight synthesis unit that superposes the weight values on the transmission/reception signals. The antenna control device further includes an arrival direction detector that detects arrival directions of the reception signals, a distribution information calculator that calculates distribution information of the detected arrival directions, a signal quality calculator that calculates signal quality information of each of the radiation patterns, and a radiation pattern selector that selects a radiation pattern on the basis of the distribution information and signal quality information for the radiation patterns, and sets the weight values corresponding to the selected radiation pattern in the weight unit.
