Abstract

A maximum likelihood sequence estimation circuit includes: a signal extraction unit that estimates a reception sample signal including a preceding wave component and a reception sample signal including a delayed wave component from a plurality of reception sample signals sampled from a reception signal at sample intervals shorter than symbol intervals, and extracts, based on an estimation result, both first reception sample signals and second reception sample signals from the plurality of reception sample signals at the symbol intervals; and a maximum likelihood sequence estimation unit that estimates a maximum likelihood sequence using the first reception sample signals extracted and the second reception sample signals extracted.
