Radio communication apparatus includes unit dividing transmit data into first-and-second streams, unit subjecting first-and-second streams to serial-to-parallel conversion to obtain data signals, unit modulating data signals into OFDM-modulation signals corresponding to first and second streams using subcarriers, unit acquiring channel responses between communication and receiving apparatuses, unit computing singular values λ1(k) and λ2(k) of channel matrix corresponding to kth subcarrier in subcarriers, based on channel responses, unit assigning weights corresponding to singular values λ1(k) and λ2(k) to first-and-second streams where correspondence of weights to streams is different by subcarrier, unit multiplying, by each of assigned weights, OFDM-modulation signals corresponding to each of first and second streams, and acquire first-and-second signals corresponding to first-and-second streams, unit adding first-and-second signals to acquire added signals, unit subjecting added signals to inverse-Fourier transform, and unit transmitting, to receiving apparatus, signals output from subjecting unit.
