Abstract

To narrow the dynamic range of multicarrier signals and prevent both the increment of cost and the degradation of power efficiency. A modulating part (101) modulates transport data. An S/P converting part (102) performs an S/P conversion of a modulated symbol and outputs the modulated symbols, the number of which is the same as the number of all subcarriers, to an IFFT part (103) in parallel. The IFFT part (103) assigns the modulated symbols to the subcarriers, the frequencies of which are orthogonal to each other, to perform an inverse fast Fourier transform. A P/S converting part (104) performs a P/S conversion of the signals of time domain. When the instantaneous amplitude level of an OFDM signal is lower than a predetermined threshold value, a pit clip part (105) replaces this amplitude level by the predetermined threshold value. In other words, when the instantaneous power of the OFDM signal is close to zero, the pit clip part (105) converts a power value to a value that is greater than the actual power value.
