Abstract: A method for calibrating a phased array antenna is provided. The phased array antenna includes multiple transmission modules each including a phase shifter that changes a phase of a high frequency signal output from a signal source, an amplifier that amplifies an amplitude of the high frequency signal, and a transmission antenna that converts the high frequency signal into a radio wave, and a reception module including a reception antenna. The method includes a step of receiving, by the reception antenna, a reflected wave that is a radio wave transmitted from the transmission antenna of each of the multiple transmission modules and reflected outside the phased array antenna, and a step of adjusting the phase shifter and the amplifier of each of the multiple transmission modules based on an amplitude and a phase of the reflected wave received.

Abstract: A wave transmission control device to control a transmitter to form a sound field in water includes processing circuitry to, when detection information is input from a sensor to detect an organism in water, determine a characteristic of the organism and a distribution state for every characteristic using the detection information, to acquire sound information based on the characteristic by referring to a database in which a characteristic of an organism and sound information are associated with each other, and to determine a sound output condition in such a manner that a distribution state changes from the distribution state which is set for the characteristic received before processing starts and to cause the transmitter to output a sound based on sound information using the output condition.
