Abstract:
1. A wireless communication apparatus receiving a signal transmitted from a plurality of transmission antennas by a plurality of reception antennas, comprising: a rotational component removal unit configured to remove rotational components from a channel matrix representing a characteristic of a transmission path between the plurality of transmission antennas and the plurality of reception antennas, the channel matrix being generated based on the reception signal; a plurality of signal separation units including at least a signal separation unit configured to use a first signal separation algorithm for a demodulation process of the reception signal, and a signal separation unit configured to use a second signal separation algorithm for the demodulation process of the reception signal; and a control unit configured to execute control for determining one of the plurality of signal separation units to be used for the demodulation process of the reception signal, based on a predetermined component of the channel matrix having the rotational components removed.
