Provided is a transmission method that improves data reception quality in radio transmission using a single-carrier scheme and/or a multi-carrier scheme. The transmission method includes: generating a plurality of first modulated signals s1(i) and second modulated signals s2(i) from transmission data, the plurality of first modulated signals s1(i) being signals generated using a QPSK modulation scheme, and the plurality of second modulated signals s2(i) being signals generated using 16QAM modulation; generating, from the plurality of first modulated signals s1(i) and the plurality of second modulated signals s2(i), a plurality of first signal-processed signals z1(i) and a plurality of second signal-processed signals z2(i) which satisfy a predetermined equation; and transmitting the plurality of first signal-processed signals z1(i) and the plurality of second signal-processed signals z2(i) using a plurality of antennas. A first signal-processed signal and a second signal-processed signal having identical symbol numbers are simultaneously transmitted at the same frequency.
