A radio transmitter includes an orthogonal transformation unit for
carrying out an orthogonal transformation on pilot signals having
orthogonal relation to each other between transmission antennas and a
pilot multiplexing unit multiplexing the pilot signals and transmission
data, and a radio receiver includes a channel estimation unit obtaining a
channel estimate of a directive multibeam for each of reception antennas,
an inverse transformation unit carrying out an inverse transformation of
the orthogonal transformation on the obtained channel estimate and a
received signal processing unit selectively conducting first processing
based on the beam channel estimate in the first mode or second processing
based on the channel estimate obtained by the inverse transformation unit
in the second mode. This commonizes a common pilot for MIMO (second mode)
and individual pilots for AAA (first mode), thus realizing the
coexistence of MIMO and AAA without leading to a reduction of throughput.
