A wireless communication apparatus for transmitting a multi-carrier modulated signal is provided with at least two amplification paths A1, A2 with different power consumption and capable of amplifying the modulated signal, selection units 15, 16 for selecting one of the at least two amplification paths A1, A2, and a control unit 3 for controlling the selection units 15, 16 to select one of the amplification paths in accordance with the number of subcarriers in the modulated signal and a selected amplification path to amplify the modulated signal. It thereby efficiently reduces power consumption. |
