A multicarrier communication apparatus and the like wherein the arithmetic amount required for calculating a reception weight by which a multicarrier signal is to be multiplied is suppressed, while the reception characteristic for the multicarrier signal is improved. In the apparatus, a subcarrier transmission weight generating part (513) generates a transmission weight of each subcarrier, based on channel information of each subcarrier received froma channel information generating part (511) and a reception weight of each subcarrier group received from a subcarrier group reception weight generating part (512). The subcarrier transmission weight generating part (513) inputs the generated transmission weights of the respective subcarriers to the corresponding ones of multipliers (522).
