Abstract
To provide a method for manufacturing an observation device that can observe precipitation particles with greater accuracy. [Solution] The manufacturing method is a method for manufacturing an observation device 110 for observing precipitation particles (e.g., raindrops RD). The manufacturing method includes the steps of: preparing an antenna module 30 that emits electromagnetic waves E and receives electromagnetic waves E reflected by a housing container 20 and electromagnetic waves E reflected by precipitation particles; converting a function showing the relationship between electromagnetic waves E emitted from the antenna module 30 and electromagnetic waves E reflected by the housing container 20 into a theoretical formula having the dielectric constant of the wall portion 21 of the housing container 20, the thickness of the wall portion 21, and the installation position in the housing container 20 as variables; outputting information regarding the installation position based on the value of the dielectric constant of the wall portion 21 and the value of the thickness of the wall portion 21; and housing the antenna module 30 in the housing container 20 and installing the antenna module 30 at the installation position.
