    Abstract: A transmitting apparatus includes an optical modulator configured to modulate input light from a light source into a light signal including a carrier signal and a sideband signal based on a radio frequency (RF) signal, having polarization characteristics crossing each other, an optical power splitter configured to split the light signal into a plurality of light signals, a plurality of light phase shifters configured to respectively shift phases of the plurality of light signals, a plurality of polarization controllers configured to perform control so that a carrier signal and a sideband signal included in each of the phase-shifted plurality of light signals have the same polarization characteristic, and a plurality of photodetectors configured to convert the plurality of light signals, having polarization characteristics controlled by the plurality of polarization controllers, into a plurality of electrical signals and to transfer the electrical signals to a plurality of antenna elements.
