Abstract: In a short wave transmission method, a carrier in a short wave band is circularly polarized and radiated from an antenna, thereby removing an influence of fading. A short wave transmission apparatus has a transmission apparatus including a carrier generation unit, a subcarrier generation unit, a first mixer, a phase shifter, a second mixer, and two orthogonal dipole antennas. The carrier generation unit generates a carrier in a short wave band. The subcarrier generation unit generates a subcarrier. The first mixer receives the carrier and the subcarrier. The phase shifter phase-shifts the subcarrier generated from the subcarrier generation unit by .pi./2. The second mixer receives the carrier and a subcarrier which is phase-shifted by .pi./2 by the phase shifter.
