1. A mobile radio apparatus that performs transmission and reception of radio waves by combining a plurality of antenna elements, the mobile radio apparatus comprising:
a first antenna element that is arranged along a longer side of a case;
a second antenna element and a third antenna element that are arranged along the longer side of the case and have different excitation phases from the first antenna element;
a transmission system control section that controls a pattern of radiation directivity by changing a phase difference between the excitation phase of the first antenna element and the excitation phase of the second antenna element or the third antenna element; and
a reception system control section that performs adaptive combining of received signals in accordance with a reception state of the first antenna element, the second antenna element, and the third antenna element.
