1. A communication apparatus comprising:
a ring-shaped transmission path which is disposed in one of a fixed part and a rotating part and includes a plurality of transmission paths each configured to transmit transmission data including a transmission signal and a clock signal;
a first coupler disposed in the other of the fixed part and the rotating part and configured to receive the transmission data from one of the plurality of transmission paths;
a determining unit configured to determine a regenerated clock signal based on the clock signal in accordance with a reception position in which the first coupler receives the transmission data from the one of the transmission paths; and
a generating unit configured to generate reception data on a basis of the transmission signal received by the first coupler and the regenerated clock signal.
