A burst signal generator generates a burst signal that is a variable length portion whose length changes in accordance with fluctuations in data input at a predetermined period. An OFDM modulator generates an OFDM signal (including a guard interval portion and an effective symbol portion) that is a fixed length portion containing data corresponding to n (n is a positive integer) times or 1/n of the predetermined period. A frame includes the variable length portion and the fixed length portion. This makes a transmission signal actually have a frame period almost equal to the period of a signal synchronized with the clock of a player, including the fluctuations.
