Provided is a transmitter apparatus including: a signal conversion section for, in polar modulation, converting input data into an amplitude-component signal and a phase-component signal, and in quadrature modulation, converting input data into an in-phase component signal and a quadrature component signal; a carrier wave generation section for outputting a carrier wave; a mixer section for, in quadrature modulation, generating a quadrature modulation signal; a regulator for, in polar modulation, outputting a supply voltage control signal; and a power amplifier for, in polar modulation, amplifying the supply voltage control signal and superimposing the resultant signal onto the carrier wave, thereby generating a transmission signal, wherein in polar modulation, the carrier wave generation section outputs the carrier wave modulated with respect to phase component, and in quadrature modulation, the carrier wave generation section outputs the carrier wave that is yet to be modulated.
