Radio communication apparatus and transmission antenna changing method

摘要

Received signal strength detecting means 109 and 110 detect received signal strength of the antennas of the respective terminals. A transmission antenna selector 111 selects an antenna with a maximum received signal strength with respect to the respective communication destinations, and when there is a plurality of communication destinations having the same antenna with a maximum received signal strength, the transmission antenna selector selects transmission antennas to be different from each other based on the received signal strength of the antennas with the second largest received signal strength, and an internal switch of a transmission antenna change device 114 is changed based on the selection result. This eliminates the need for providing mixers without reducing transmission diversity effect, and results in a reduction of a maximum output of a transmission amplifier.
