A radio communication device which when transmitting both a first information sequence, on which &#x3c0;/4-shift differential phase shift modulation is performed, as a delayed wave and a second information sequence, on which a differential phase shift modulation is performed, as an advance wave by using a PADM (Per transmit Antenna Differential Mapping) method, interchanges signal points respectively belonging to quadrants which are one of a first quadrant and a third quadrant, a second quadrant and a fourth quadrant, the first quadrant and the second quadrant, the first quadrant and the fourth quadrant, the second quadrant and the third quadrant, and the third quadrant and the fourth quadrant, the signal points being included in signal points mapped onto a complex plane which consists of a real number axis and an imaginary number axis, to change the arrangement of the information sequence.

A linearizer changes a gain characteristic to a valley characteristic in which a gain reduces and then increases. The linearizer includes: a signal path in which an RF signal input terminal an input side bias blocking capacitor, a diode pair, including diodes having opposite polarities to each other, an output side bias blocking capacitor and an RF signal output terminal in series in the stated order; a bias circuit in which a resistor is provided between and a signal path formed between the input side bias blocking capacitor and the diode pair and a bias terminal; an RF short-circuiting capacitor whose one end is connected with the bias circuit between the bias terminal and the resistor and whose other end is grounded; and a DC feed inductor whose one end is connected with the signal path between the diode pair and the output side bias blocking capacitor and whose other end is grounded.
