Abstract

A decision circuit includes: a first decision block to distinguish a first bit of bits using an amplitude of an analog signal as a discrimination point, the analog signal being an amplitude shift keyed signal; a superposition block to acquire an absolute value of a difference of the analog signal in respect to an amplitude center value of the analog signal by superposing divided analog signals; an inversion block to control inverting of the signal based on a first distinction result of the first decision block; a second decision block to distinguish a second bit of the bits based on an amplitude of an output signal from the inversion block and the discrimination point; and an output buffer to output the first distinction result and a second distinction result of the second decision block in synchronization with a clock.
