COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND CANCELLATION METHOD

A passive intermodulation (PIM) canceller of a communication device includes a combining unit, a replica generating unit, and a delay measuring instrument. The replica generating unit generates an intermodulation signal based on the amount of delay of each transmission signal. The combining unit cancels out the intermodulation signal from the reception signal using the generated intermodulation signal. The delay measuring instrument delays a transmission signal x2 included in a plurality of transmission signals by different first amounts of delay. The delay measuring instrument generates an intermediate signal Sm1 by multiplying the delayed transmission signal x2 to the reception signal. The delay measuring instrument calculates, based on the correlation values of the intermediate signal Sm1 corresponding to each first amount of delay and a transmission signal x1 included in the plurality of transmission signals, the amount of delay of the transmission signal x1 with respect to the intermodulation signal.
