Abstract

PURPOSE:To secure a communication by automatically detecting the abnormality of an antenna, and switching a transmitter output. CONSTITUTION:A control part 6 measures the RSSIs of receivers 3a and 3b to be inputted for a definite time. When a large difference exists between the value of the RSSI of the receiver 3a and the value of the RSSI of the receiver 3b, a transmission changeover switch 7 is operated, and the output of a transmitter 8 is switched to the side of a normal antenna. In such a way, in a diversity receiver, by having a function to measure the input electric fields of respective antennas 1a and 1b and selecting the antenna connected to the transmitter 8 based on the measured electric field values, even when one transmission- reception-shared antenna is troubled, it is automatically detected, the switching to the other transmission-reception-shared antenna is executed, and the communication can be secured.
