Disclosed is a wireless communication device that, when both localized transmission and distributed transmission are used, can obtain channel estimation accuracy equivalent to that of localized transmission with distributed transmission. With this device, a setting unit (108) sets the power density of a reference signal by setting the arrangement density in the time domain of the reference signal according to the continuity in the frequency domain of the reference signal. In addition, the setting unit (108) increases the arrangement density in the time domain of the reference signal as the continuity decreases. A transmission RF unit (111) transmits a reference signal having the power density that has been set by the setting unit (108).
