Abstract

In-phase component approximation section 111 calculates an amplitude variation amount of an in-phase component of a data symbol from an amplitude variation amount of an in-phase component of a pilot symbol approximately. Quadrature component approximation section 112 calculates an amplitude variation amount of a quadrature component of the data symbol from an amplitude variation amount of a quadrature component of the pilot symbol approximately. Amplitude variation calculation section 113 calculates an amplitude variation amount of each data symbol from the amplitude variation amounts of the in-phase component and quadrature component of each data symbol. Phase variation calculation section 114 calculates a phase variation amount of the data symbol from a phase variation amount of the pilot symbol approximately. Thus, by calculating the amplitude variation amount of the data symbol and the phase variation amount of the data symbol separately, even in the case where a frequency offset between a transmitter and receiver is large, it is possible to estimate the frequency offset and fading distortion with high accuracy, and to suppress the deterioration of bit error rate characteristic…
