Abstract
A wireless communication apparatus having a plurality of antennas-to-M and for diversity-combining signals received by the antennas-to-M, includes a first combining unit () for combining received power of the antennas-to-M based on a first algorithm; a second combining unit (-to-M,) for combining received power of the antennas-to-M based on a second algorithm, which is different from the first algorithm; a determination unitfor determining whether there is a delayed wave based on the received signals; and a control unitfor selecting either one of the first combining unit () and the second combining unit (-to-M,) depending on a determination result by the determination unitand controlling a selected combining unit to combine received power of the antennas-to-M. Thus, it is possible to reduce the influence of multipath fading and maintain a constantly stable reception condition even when the number of reception antennas is small.
