A radio wave arrival status estimating system characterized by having an estimating means that estimates whether the physical characteristic of a radio wave received at the reception point of a radio system to be evaluated has reached the minimum allowable level for determining the characteristic of the radio system; that estimates an arrival status of the radio wave at the reception point by applying a first radio wave propagation status estimating technique to the reception point when estimating that the physical characteristic has reached the minimum allowable level; and that estimates an arrival status of the radio wave at the reception point by applying a second radio wave propagation status estimating technique to the reception point when estimating that the physical characteristic has not reached the minimum allowable level.
