1. A communication apparatus comprising:
a precoder which, in operation, applies a precoding matrix to a first modulated symbol sequence and to a second modulated symbol sequence to generate a first transmission symbol sequence and a second transmission symbol sequence, wherein the precoding matrix is selected from a first precoding matrix with a phase shift whose amount is switched periodically and a second precoding matrix without the phase shift, and wherein the amount of the phase shift is switched symbol by symbol and the phase shift is applied to one of the first modulated symbol sequence and the second modulated symbol sequence; and
a transmitter which, in operation, transmits the first transmission symbol sequence and the second transmission symbol sequence from two or more antennas.
