Abstract

A transmission apparatus that (i) generates a Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) modulation signal s 1 ( t ) by applying a QPSK modulation scheme to a first data sequence, (ii) generates a 16-Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) modulation signal s 2 ( t ) by applying a 16-QAM modulation scheme to a second data sequence, (iii) generates a transmission signal z 1 ( t ) and a second transmission signal z 2 ( t ) by applying a phase hopping process, a precoding process, and a power adjust process to the QPSK modulation signal s 1 ( t ) and the 16-QAM modulation signal s 2 ( t ), wherein an average transmission power of the 16-QAM modulation signal s 2 ( t ) being the same as an average transmission power of the QPSK modulation signal s 1 ( t ), and (iv) transmits the transmission signal z 1 ( t ) from a first antenna at a first time and a first frequency and the second transmission signal z 2 ( t ) from a second antenna at the first time and the first frequency.
