Abstract

The noise amount information storage unit 161 stores noise amount information which indicates relationships between gain value of the variable gain amplification units 121 and 125 and the amount of noise included in BB signals output from the down converters 131 and 135. The AGC unit 140 controls the gain value of the variable gain amplification units 121 and 125 so that the power of BB signals output from the down converters 131 and 135 becomes constant. The noise amount estimation unit 162 estimates noise amount of noise corresponding to the controlled gain value of the variable gain amplification units 121 and 125 by referring to the noise amount information stored in the noise amount information storage unit 161. The weight generation unit 170 generates weight matrix based on results of estimations performed by the channel characteristic estimation unit 150 and the noise estimation unit 162.
