Abstract

A radio communication apparatus is described that includes a reception antenna, a converter, a calculator, and a separator. The reception antenna receives a mixed signal including two or more backscatter signals respectively transmitted from two or more tag devices and the converter converts the mixed signal into complex data on a complex plane. The calculator calculates phase angles of carrier waves of the two or more backscatter signals to approximate the phase angles into a complex data sequence of a predetermined length, and generates a projector matrix formed of a combination of the phase angles of carrier waves of the two or more backscatter signals. The separator separates the two or more backscatter signals from the mixed signal based on an inverse matrix of the projector matrix and the complex data sequence.
