Abstract

PURPOSE:To detect the incoming radio wave whose video level is low by generating a trigger signal only when a video signal obtained by a directional antenna is larger than a video signal obtained by a non-directional antenna. CONSTITUTION:A comparing circuit 4 compares signals from a detector 3 and a detectors 3-1 to 3-n, and outputs its result to a trigger generating circuit 5. The generating circuit 5 generates a trigger signal when a video signal from directional antennas 1-1 to 1-n is larger than a video signal from a non- directional antenna 2 and inputs it to A/D converters 7-1 to 7-n. Delaying circuits 6-1 to 6-n delay a receiving signal by the time until the trigger signal is inputted. The A/D converters 7-1 to 7-n A/D-convert the receiving signal by the trigger signal, and output amplitude data. In such a way, even an incoming radio wave whose level is low by a portion in which a gain level of the directional antenna is higher than a gain level of the non-directional antenna can be detected. Also, blanking of the outside of a prescribed receiving range can be executed.
