Abstract
Description
特許文献1には、対象機器である電子機器との間の測定距離に応じて受信域が広がる指向性のアンテナプローブを用いて不要電磁波強度を測定する電磁波測定方法が開示されている。この電磁波測定方法は、対象機器からの測定距離が異なる複数の測定距離のそれぞれを設定し、設定された大きい測定距離における電磁波強度の測定を実行し、その結果、不要電磁波強度が測定された受信域に対して、小さい測定距離における電磁波強度の測定を実行する。しかし、上述した電磁波測定方法では、使用するアンテナプローブによって受信可能な受信域(領域)が限定される。よって、上述した電磁波測定方法は、一度大きい測定距離で対象機器の全体の電磁波強度を測定することで不要電磁波が発生する領域を特定し、特定された領域に対して小さい測定距離で再度電磁波強度を測定するため、不要電磁波の発生源を特定するまでに時間を要した。
まず、図1および図2を参照して、実施の形態1に係る電磁波可視化装置100について説明する。図1は、実施の形態1に係る電磁波可視化装置100の一例を示す外観図である。図2は、実施の形態1に係る電磁波可視化装置100の内部構成例を示す図である。実施の形態1に係る電磁波可視化装置100は、例えばユーザによって把持され、電磁波測定対象となる対象機器Tg1の電磁波強度の測定を行うための可搬装置である。電磁波可視化装置100は、端末装置1と、測定部2と、を含んで構成される。
