Abstract
A communication apparatus including a first antenna and performing wireless communication in which a reflected power from the first antenna changes depending on a positional relationship between the first antenna of the communication apparatus and a second antenna of a communication partner. The communication apparatus further includes a transmission unit configured to transmit a data signal to the communication partner via the first antenna, a determination unit configured to determine a reflected power generated when the transmission unit supplies the data signal to the first antenna, and a control unit configured to control the transmission of the data signal by the transmission unit, based on the reflected power determined by the determination unit.
