A transmitting apparatus and method for power amplification with delay control in a wireless communication system are provided. The apparatus includes signal converters, a delay difference measurer, and a delay controller. The signal converters separate a baseband signal into an envelope signal and a phase modulated signal. The delay difference measurer measures a delay difference between an envelope signal path and a phase modulated signal path using a correlation coefficient extraction and interpolation technique. The delay controller sets a delay in a clock period unit to a signal path having a small delay and sets a delay by a remainder delay difference to a signal path having a large delay, depending on the measured delay difference.
