Abstract: A multi-carrier transmission device improves peak suppression efficiency in a multi-carrier signal. The multi-carrier transmission device (100) has a peak suppression unit (140) for dividing a multi-carrier signal into two parts: a first multi-carrier signal and a second multi-carrier signal. A peak signal detection unit (142) detects a power value at a predetermined interval concerning the first multi-carrier signal. When the detected power value is equal to or above a predetermined level, a peak extraction unit (144) extracts a signal component equal to or above the predetermined level from the first multi-carrier signal. A band limit filter unit (146) passes only a predetermined band from the extracted signal component. An adder (154) subtracts the signal component after the band limit from the second multi-carrier signal.
