Abstract
A communication apparatus includes a Doppler shift amount calculation unit configured to calculate a Doppler shift amount of a reception signal which is received from an artificial satellite and is obtained by modulating a signal, for which spectrum spreading is performed by using a predetermined spread code, by a predetermined carrier frequency, a sampling interval setting unit configured to set a sampling interval, at which down sampling is performed for the reception signal, a down sampling unit configured to perform the down sampling for the reception signal, a coherent addition unit configured to perform coherent addition of the reception signal, a spread code generation unit configured to generate a spread code, and a phase detection unit configured to perform correlation calculation between a calculation result of the coherent addition and the spread code and detects a phase of the spread code of the reception signal.
