Abstract: Provided is a wireless communication terminal which, when SRSs are simultaneously transmitted between CCs and between antenna ports, avoids increasing the effect of bit rounding errors of D/A converters when the number of antenna ports set for SRS transmission differs between CCs. This device comprises a transmission power calculation unit (107) which calculates the transmission power of a plurality of UL channels of a plurality of CCs and a plurality of antenna ports. A power scaling detection unit (108) detects whether or not the total transmission power of the UL channels exceeds the maximum transmission power specific to a UE. When power scaling is generated, a power scaling control unit (109) uses antenna port setting information set for SRS transmission between CCs to perform power scaling in such a way that all scaling weights are uniform between CCs, or between CCs and between antenna ports.
