Abstract

A timing estimation device according to the present invention includes a received signal memory that outputs a plurality of sample groups each of which is a first number of samples extracted at symbol rate intervals from an oversampled received signal containing a known sequence, with shifting their leading positions by one sample from each other, a reliability calculation unit that calculates a channel impulse response for each of the sample groups, based on the sample group, generates a replica of the received signal using the channel impulse response and the known sequence, and calculates a reliability value based on the sample group, the replica, and the channel impulse response, and a timing estimation unit that estimates a preceding wave arrival timing and a delayed wave arrival timing, based on the reliability value.
