Provided is a transmission
directivity control apparatus comprising: a generator that generates a
light wave in which Nh continuous
waves of light from a
continuous wave of light having a frequency of f1 to a
continuous wave of light having a frequency of fN_h are
wavelength-multiplexed with the phases thereof synchronized; a first optical splitter that splits the output of the generator into two directions; a frequency converter that shifts the frequency of the
light wave which has been split in one of the two directions, to a prescribed direction by a prescribed frequency of fRF; a first optical circuit that provides the
light wave which has been split in a second direction of the two directions with a
phase change depending on the frequency; a modulator that modulates the light wave which has propagated through the first optical circuit; an
optical coupler that is for obtaining a
resultant wave from the output of the frequency converter and the output of the modulator; a first
frequency divider that is for obtaining, from the output of the
optical coupler, for each p, a p-th paired wave, which is a
resultant wave from a modulated wave having a
center frequency of fp included in the output of the modulator and a
continuous wave having a frequency shifted by fRF from the frequency fp; a p-th
photodiode that receives the p-th paired wave; and a p-th
antenna element that is excited by the output of the p-th
photodiode.
