In a radio communication apparatus, delay profiles of a desired wave and delay
waves thereof are estimated by plural delay profile estimation sections for each
of received signals from directional antennas constituting an array antenna. Received
signals from the antennas selected by a reception antenna selector on the basis
of the delay profile are subjected to a temporal/spatial equalization processing
by an adaptive signal processing section and a path diversity combining section,
thereby obtaining a reception output. An arrival angle range of the desired wave
is estimated by a DOA estimation section from the delay profile estimated by the
delay profile estimation section. Based on the arrival angle range, the antenna
for transmission is selected by a transmission antenna selection section, and transmission
signals are sent out.
