Claim:
1. A wireless communication apparatus configured to communicate with a plurality of fixedly-installed communication terminals, the apparatus comprising: a first antenna; a second antenna; a variable phase shifting unit that changes a phase of a high frequency signal to be received or transmitted via the first antenna; and a combining unit that combines or distributes a high frequency signal having passed through the variable phase shifting unit and a high frequency signal to be received or transmitted via the second antenna; a storage unit that stores a phase information table in which phase information is associated with each of the plurality of communication terminals as communication partners, the phase information corresponding to maximum reception electrical power levels obtained from a combining characteristic of the combining unit, wherein when communicating with one communication terminal out of the plurality of communication terminals via the first antenna and the second antenna, the variable phase shifting unit changes a phase of a high frequency signal on the basis of phase information stored in the phase information table in association with the one communication terminal.
