Abstract

The linearity of a transmission signal is improved in a wireless communication device by adjusting a delay difference between paths of two signals that are combined into one after modulation through the paths of different delay amounts, such as an r signal and a θ signal in EER. A transmitter includes: a DA converter unit which converts, into analog signals, separated input digital signals; a combiner which combines the analog signals obtained through the DA conversion with each other; an distributor which extracts a feedback signal; an AD converter which converts the feedback signal into a digital signal; an oscillator unit which supplies clock signals to the converters; a first separation unit which separates the feedback signal; and a comparator unit which compares the input signal and the feedback signal, wherein the oscillator unit controls the output clock signals based on a result of the comparison.
