A frequency hopping communication device has a memory memorizing modulation coefficients related to hopping frequencies of a carrier wave. Whenever a following hopping frequency is decided, a CPU reads out one of the modulation coefficients on the basis of the following hopping frequency from the memory and supplies it to a Gaussian filter. The Gaussian filter stores the read out modulation coefficient in a register and multiplies transmission data signal supplied thereto by the read out modulation coefficient stored in the register to produce a modulation signal. Thus, the modulation signal has voltage amplitude depending on the carrier frequency. A voltage controlled oscillator modulates the carrier wave having the following hopping frequency by the use of the modulation signal from the Gaussian filter and produces a transmission signal. Therefore, the transmission signal has an approximately uniform frequency deviation regardless of the carrier frequency.
