An inspection device and method suppressing measurement time and power consumption. A detection device according to the present disclosure includes a first probe with a first antenna unit for transmission, a second probe with a second antenna unit for reception, the second probe being opposed to the first probe at a predetermined distance, a measurement unit that measures a measurement signal including a propagation characteristic of an electromagnetic wave in a medium between the first and second antenna units, and a calculation unit that calculates characteristics information of the medium based on the measurement signal. In a first mode, the measurement unit measures the measurement signal in a first frequency band for the electromagnetic wave propagating in the medium, and in a second mode, the measurement unit measures the measurement signal in a second frequency band, which is a part of the first frequency band for the electromagnetic wave.
A detection device comprising:
A detection method using a detection device including a first probe that includes a first antenna unit for transmission, a second probe that includes a second antenna unit for reception, the second probe being opposed to the first probe at a predetermined distance, a measurement unit that measures a measurement signal including information regarding a propagation characteristic of an electromagnetic wave in a medium between the first and second antenna units, and a calculation unit that calculates characteristics information of the medium on a basis of a characteristic amount obtained from the measurement signal, the detection method comprising:
