A transmission device includes a modulation unit that performs chirp-spread modulation on an input information series to generate a modulation signal; a delay unit that provides, to a plurality of modulation signals obtained by duplicating the modulation signal generated by the modulation unit, delays having lengths different from each other, a difference between the delays being an integral multiple of a reciprocal of a bandwidth of the modulation signal; and a plurality of transmission antennas that transmit the plurality of modulation signals, respectively, to which the delays are provided by the delay unit.

Transmission device, wireless communication system, and transmission method

A reception unit in a radio communication apparatus receives wirelessly a signal configured with a preamble from another radio communication apparatus. The synchronization detection unit uses the preamble included in the signal received by the reception unit to detect synchronization with another radio communication apparatus. The signal accumulation unit accumulates a signal extracted from the signal received by the reception unit based on a timing at which the synchronization is detected by the synchronization detection unit. The combining unit combines the signals accumulated in the signal accumulation unit in accordance with a blind adaptive array antenna algorithm. The demodulation unit demodulates the signals combined by the combining unit.
