Disclosed is a wireless communication apparatus having an array antenna constituted by a plurality of antennas, radio receiving circuits, which are provided for respective ones of the antennas, for amplifying respective ones of antenna receive signals and applying a frequency conversion to the baseband signals, and a demodulator for demodulating receive data from the baseband signals. A narrow-band-signal extracting unit extracts two narrow-band signals, which have the maximum frequency spacing between them, from the baseband signals of each of the antennas, an estimating unit estimates phase variation in each radio receiving circuit using the two narrow-band signals of each antenna, and a phase-variation correcting unit corrects for phase variation in each radio receiving circuit. The estimating unit estimates the direction of signal arrival using narrow-band signals of at least two antennas, a beam former applies receive beam-forming processing to each corrected signal based upon the direction of signal arrival, and a receive-signal processor demodulates receive data from the receive signal that has undergone beam-forming processing.
