2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 2, a conventional radio wave detecting device detects a direction by receiving a radio wave through a directional antenna 1. At this time, if the received radio wave is strong, radio waves in directions other than the main beam of the directional antenna 1 are also received, so that it is difficult to detect the azimuth. For this reason, conventionally, the omnidirectional antenna 2 is used in combination, and the reception levels of both antennas are compared by the amplitude comparison circuit 3. If the reception level of the directional antenna 1 is higher than the omnidirectional antenna 2 by a certain value or more, The main beam of the directional antenna 1 is determined to have been received, and the direction of arrival of the radio wave is detected.

In this conventional radio wave detecting device, the radio wave received by the main beam of the directional antenna 1 is determined by comparing the reception levels of the directional antenna 1 and the omni-directional antenna 2. However, since the gain of the omnidirectional antenna 2 is lower than that of the directional antenna 1, when the radio wave becomes weaker, the signal can be received by the directional antenna, but cannot be received by the omnidirectional antenna. There is a problem that it is not possible to determine the reception by the beam. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a radio wave detection device that can determine reception of a main beam even with a weak radio wave.

According to this configuration, when the reception level of the radio wave is high, it is possible to determine from the comparison result in each amplitude circuit 3 that the radio wave is received by the main beam of the directional antenna 1 as in the related art. On the other hand, when the reception level of the radio wave is weak and the reception levels of the directional antenna 1 and the omnidirectional antenna 2 cannot be compared by the amplitude comparison circuit 3,
The determination is made based on the detection result from the reception level detection circuit 4. That is, when the reception level at the omnidirectional antenna 2 is equal to or lower than the predetermined value, the reception level of the radio wave received at the directional antenna 1 is also weak. In this case, it is determined that the signal is received by the main beam of the directional antenna 1.
