An amplitude limiting circuit for limiting the amplitude of a signal input to a power amplifier includes an amplitude converter, determination unit, peak detector, window filter, delay circuit, and multiplier. The amplitude converter calculates the amplitude value of an input signal. The determination unit detects an interval in which the amplitude value of the input signal exceeds a preset threshold. The peak detector detects the peak time and amplitude when the maximum amplitude appears. The window filter limits the amplitude value to not more than the threshold by using the peak value output from the peak detector. The delay circuit delays the input signal such that the peak time output from the peak detector coincides with the time when the output from the window filter exhibits the minimum value. The multiplier multiplies an output signal from the delay circuit by a window function. A CDMA communication apparatus is also disclosed.
