1. A composite reception and emission apparatus, comprising:
a plurality of first-type devices that receives or emits energy;
a plurality of second-type devices that receives or emits energy, whose type is different from a type of the first-type devices; and
a base body on which the plurality of first-type devices and the plurality of second-type devices are mounted,
the composite reception and emission apparatus being configured to:
synthesize information measured by reception or emission of energy to or from the plurality of first-type devices; and
synthesize information measured by reception or emission of energy to or from the plurality of second-type devices, and
the plurality of first-type devices and the plurality of second-type devices being arranged on the base body so as to satisfy the constraint condition below:
Constraint condition: A device closest to each of the fewer mounted devices for the first-type devices and second-type devices in an orientation space is at least one of the larger mounted devices.
