The present invention realizes terahertz wireless transmission with low phase noise and high output. A coherent combining photoelectric conversion apparatus transmits, from a transmission antenna, a wireless signal obtained by modulating a carrier signal with a baseband signal including an information signal, and includes: a micro-optical resonator (2) that is excited by laser light and generates an optical frequency comb with a frequency interval frep that is 100 GHz or more and 3 THz or less; a modulated signal generation unit (3) that separates a plurality of mutually adjacent optical frequency mode pairs from the optical frequency comb, and optically modulates one optical frequency mode of each pair using the same baseband signal; a photoelectric conversion element unit (4) that is provided in the transmission antenna and includes one or more photoelectric conversion elements that mix the optical frequency modes of each pair to generate a group of high-frequency electromagnetic wave signals having a frequency interval equal to the frequency interval frep; and phase offset adjustment units (301, 302) that adjust a phase offset between the group of high-frequency electromagnetic wave signals.
A coherent combining photoelectric conversion apparatus that is a wireless transmission apparatus configured to transmit, from a transmission antenna, a wireless signal obtained by modulating a carrier signal with a baseband signal including an information signal, the wireless transmission apparatus comprising:
