Wireless communication device and wireless communication method

A wireless communication device comprising:

• a transmitter that is provided in a rotary part of a rotary device and transmits a wireless signal;
• a receiver that is provided in a stationary part of the rotary device, receives the wireless signal, and calculates a communication quality level based on the wireless signal;
