Abstract: During a sound pressure measurement operational mode, when a distance from a vehicle and a corresponding required sound pressure level are specified, a control part causes a test sound to be outputted externally from an external sound output part by making a sound signal generation part generate a test sound signal as an external output sound signal. By doing this, the control part controls the signal level of the test sound signal as a result of sound pickup by a sound pickup part of the test sound outputted outside the vehicle, and thereby determines an adjustment value for the signal level of the test sound signal that can minimize the output sound volume, while the externally outputted sound propagated through the space outside the vehicle still satisfies required sound pressure conditions. The control part registers the determined adjustment value in a sound pressure adjustment table within a storage part.

Abstract: An antenna device including: a reflector antenna including a primary radiator, a feed waveguide for feeding radio waves to the primary radiator, and a reflector; and a radome that covers the reflector antenna, in which the antenna device further includes a sidelobe reduction member attached to a vicinity of the primary radiator or the feed waveguide, the sidelobe reduction member reducing a sidelobe in a specific direction of an antenna by at least one of scattering and absorbing of radio waves reflected by the radome out of the radio waves radiated from the reflector antenna. Therefore, it is possible to reduce a sidelobe deterioration caused by reflection waves from the radome.

Abstract: A disk-shaped reflecting plate 3 for reflecting an electric wave emitted out of an aperture 1a of a circular waveguide 1 is placed a location which is just opposite to the aperture 1a of the circular waveguide 1, and a ring-shaped waveguide 4 for shaping the radiation characteristic of the electric wave reflected by the disk-shaped reflecting plate 3 to a rotational symmetrical radiation characteristic is disposed around the perimeter of the disk-shaped reflecting plate 3. Thereby, even when many grooves 4a need to be formed in order to make the electric wave have a rotational symmetrical radiation characteristic, it is not necessary to increase the size of the disk-shaped reflecting plate 3 in the direction of its radius.
