Provided is a transmission control apparatus that determine a first phase difference for a phase difference between an electric wave output by a first antenna and an electric wave output by a second antenna, and for a phase difference between an electric wave output by a third antenna and an electric wave output by a fourth antenna, based on a determined polarization characteristic; determines a second phase difference for a phase difference between the electric wave output by the first antenna and the electric wave output by the third antenna and for a phase difference between the electric wave output by the second antenna and the electric wave output by the fourth antenna, based on the determined beam direction; and controls phases of the electric waves output by the first to fourth antennas, according to the first and second phase differences.
