Abstract
Radio communication apparatus includes receiving unit 11 receives a radio wave from a radio base station, and converts the radio wave into an electric signal corresponding to the field strength of the radio wave. Based on the electric signal, judging device 12 judges whether the field strength of the radio wave from the radio base station is equal to or higher than a predetermined level sufficient for reception or not. Displaying device 14 displays a judgment result of the judging device 12 by display patterns such as pictures which are switched over at an interval of a constant time. From this display, the user can easily recognize the condition of the field strength in a visual manner.
Claims13
A radio communication apparatus comprising:
- receiving means for receiving a radio wave from a radio base station, and for converting the radio wave into an electric signal corresponding to a field strength of the radio wave;
