Abstract
The present technology relates to a signal processing apparatus and method which can suppress increase in power consumption. In an aspect of the present technology, control data, which is for controlling frequency modulation to a carrier signal using digital data to be transmitted, and for suppressing a time average of a fluctuation amount of a frequency modulation amount more than a case of controlling the frequency modulation to the carrier signal using the digital data is generated, the frequency modulation is performed to the carrier signal on the basis of the generated control data, and the carrier signal to which the frequency modulation is performed is transmitted as a transmission signal. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a signal processing apparatus, a transmission apparatus, a reception apparatus, a communication apparatus, or an electronic apparatus having a transmission function, a reception function, or a communication function, or a computer which controls these.
