Wireless communication device, control method, and program

A control method, comprising:

• outputting a second output signal by combining first output signals of a plurality of antenna elements;
• measuring a signal strength of each of a plurality of the second output signals;
• locating a position of a communication device being a communication target, based on the measured signal strength of each of the second output signals;
• outputting a third output signal by combining the plurality of second output signals;
• and
• controlling a phase of the each antenna element in such a way that a main lobe being a beam having a maximum signal strength of the third output signal is directed to the located position of the communication device.

A non-transitory storage medium having a program stored therein, the program causing a computer to execute:

• outputting a second output signal by combining first output signals of a plurality of antenna elements;
• measuring a signal strength of each of a plurality of the second output signals;
• locating a position of a communication device being a communication target, based on the measured signal strength of each of the second output signals;
• outputting a third output signal by combining the plurality of second output signals;
• and
• controlling a phase of the each antenna element in such a way that a main lobe being a beam having a maximum signal strength of the third output signal is directed to the located position of the communication device.
