Abstract
According to one embodiment, a wireless communication device includes a receiver configured to receive signals via a plurality of antennas and processing circuitry configured to segment each of signals received by a plurality of antennas into a plurality of elements each defined by a time width and a bandwidth, and measure signal intensities of the elements or groups into which the plurality of elements are divided; select one of the plurality of antennas per element or per group by comparing the signal intensities between the plurality of antennas; and analyze a distribution of the selected antennas to determine an identity of a signal source of the signals.

A wireless communication device comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive signals via a plurality of antennas;
- and
- processing circuitry configured to:
- segment each of the signals into a plurality of elements each defined by a time width and a bandwidth, and measure signal intensities of the elements or groups into which the plurality of elements are divided;
- select one of the plurality of antennas for each element or for each group by comparing the signal intensities between the plurality of antennas to obtain a distribution of selected antennas of the plurality of antennas;
- and
- analyze the distribution of the selected antennas to determine an identity of a signal source of the signals.
A signal measuring method comprising:
- segmenting each of signals received by a plurality of antennas into a plurality of elements each defined by a time width and a bandwidth, and measuring signal intensities of the elements or groups into which the plurality of elements are divided;
- selecting one of the plurality of antennas for each element or for each group by comparing the signal intensities between the plurality of antennas to obtain a distribution of selected antennas of the plurality of antennas;
