    Abstract: An antenna element receives a first radio wave and outputs a transmission signal, and receives a second radio wave and outputs a reception signal. A phase conversion unit applies a predetermined phase shift amount to a signal to be input and then output the signal. A switch connects the antenna element to one of the phase conversion unit and external receiver. When the first radio wave enters the antenna, the switch connects the antenna element to the phase conversion unit, and the transmission signal to which the predetermined phase shift amount has been applied is radiated from the antenna element. A third radio wave radiated from each of a plurality of RIS elements is deflected in a predetermined direction. When the second radio wave enters the antenna, the switch connects the antenna element to the external receiver, and the external receiver receives the reception signal.
