Patent ID: 8243838

Claim:
A measurement apparatus that measures power of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing modulated signal (OFDM modulated signal) output from a transmitting device, comprising: an output control section that causes the transmitting device to output the OFDM modulated signal having a prescribed waveform that repeats in each of a plurality of repetition periods; and a power measuring section that measures, over a measurement period that corresponds to an integer multiple of the repetition period, the power of the OFDM modulated signal output by the transmitting device, wherein the output control section causes the transmitting device to output the OFDM modulated signal having, as the repetition period, a period for which the arrangement of a pilot signal is the same in a direction of sub-carriers and a direction of OFDM symbols, and when the output control section causes an OFDM modulated signal obtained by orthogonally amplitude modulating a data signal, which is a signal component other than a pilot signal, to be output from the transmitting device, the output control section causes the power, over the repetition period, of the OFDM modulated signal to be transmitted to be substantially equal to the power, over the repetition period, of an OFDM modulated signal obtained by orthogonally phase modulating the data signal.
