A transmitter apparatus wherein a relatively simple structure is used to suppress burst errors without changing the block sizes of encoded blocks even when the number of modulation multi-values is increased. There are included an encoding part (11) that subjects transport data to a block encoding process to form block encoded data; a modulating part (15) that modulates the block encoded data to form data symbols; and an arranging (interleaving) part (12) that arranges (interleaves) the block encoded data in such a manner that the intra-block encoded data of the encoded blocks, which include their respective single different data symbol, get together, and then supplies the arranged (interleaved) block encoded data to the modulating part (15). In this way, there can be provided a transmitter apparatus (10) wherein a relatively simple structure is used to suppress burst errors without changing the block sizes of encoded blocks even when the number of modulation multi-values is increased.
