Abstract
In a communication device that performs communication by a time division system, it is intended to enhance the communication speed. A communication apparatus includes a transmission unit, a reception unit, a switching unit, and a discharge unit. In the communication apparatus, the transmission unit transmits a transmission signal. Moreover, the reception unit receives a reception signal. Moreover, in the communication apparatus, the switching unit switches a connection destination of one end of a communication path from one of the transmission unit and the reception unit, to the other. Furthermore, the discharge unit lowers, by discharging, a surge voltage generated in the switching unit due to the switching of the connection destination.
