Claim Text:
1. An antenna switching device performing wireless communication with another wireless communication apparatus, comprising: an antenna unit which, in operation, switches a first polarized wave and a first beam direction in the wireless communication and which, in operation, radiates the first polarized wave to the other wireless communication apparatus in the first beam direction; a communication controlling circuitry which, in operation, acquires a communication characteristic corresponding to a second polarized wave radiated from the other wireless communication apparatus and a second beam direction of the second polarized wave radiated from the other wireless communication apparatus; an antenna detecting circuitry which, in operation, determines the second polarized wave used by an antenna of the other wireless communication apparatus based on the acquired communication characteristic; and an antenna switching circuitry which, in operation, switches the first polarized wave and the first beam direction in the wireless communication with the other wireless communication apparatus depending on the determined second polarized wave used by the antenna of the other wireless communication apparatus.
