Antenna Control Apparatus, Antenna Control Program, and Antenna Control System
First Claim
1. An antenna control apparatus that controls an inter-center distance between two antennas in a case of feeding the two antennas with electric currents with an equal intensity in mutually reverse directions, the antenna control apparatus comprising:
- an input parameter acquisition unit that acquires, as input parameters, a distance from the two antennas to a boundary of a communication area formed by the antennas, and a lower limit value of an attenuation rate of a magnetic field intensity at the boundary of the communication area; and
a calculation unit that calculates, based on the distance to the boundary of the communication area and the lower limit value of the attenuation rate of the magnetic field intensity, the inter-center distance between the antennas such that the attenuation rate of the magnetic field intensity equal to the lower limit value is obtained at the boundary of the communication area and the intensity of the electric currents is minimized.

Abstract
Provided is an antenna control technique for forming the boundary of a communication area at a desired location. An antenna parameter control apparatus 2 calculates an antenna parameter in a case of feeding electric currents with an equal intensity in mutually reverse directions to two antennas 1A, 1B which generate a magnetic field. The antenna parameter control apparatus 2 includes an input parameter acquisition unit 21 that acquires input parameters for calculating the antenna parameter; and a parameter calculation unit 22 that calculates an inter-center distance d between the antennas 1A, 1B as the antenna parameter based on the input parameters.
