Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce multi-path disturbance by driving an antenna in an optimum direction based on a current position of a travelling object and a location of a broadcast station to be received or selecting an optimum antenna among plural antennas. CONSTITUTION:A control section 28 accesses a storage section 24 based on a current position data from a current position detection section 25 at first to extract a receptible broadcast station and displays the result on a display section 27. When an operation key 26 is operated, a reception section 17 is set to receive the relevant broadcast. The control section 28 calculates a moving angle theta1 of an antenna 11 based on the current position data and the moving direction from the current position detection section 25 and a location data of the said broadcast station. The moving angle theta1 is fed to an antenna drive section 12 and compared with a voltage representing the current antenna moving angle at a comparator section 14 via a D/A converter 13. A servo motor 15 is driven by the difference voltage to drive the antenna 11, which is set in an optimum direction.
