An orthogonal frequency division multiplex mode receiver which quickly corrects a frequency deviation at the receiving side and transmitting side when receiving signals obtained by phase-modulating a plurality of orthogonal subcarriers, provided with a voltage-controlled oscillator (3) for generating a main carrier for reproducing a baseband signal from a received signal; a frequency analyzing unit (8) for finding levels and phase values of subcarriers by analyzing the frequency of the baseband signal and decoding symbols; and a frequency correction unit (16) for correcting the frequency deviation of the main carrier so that the level difference becomes a minimum by detecting the level difference occurring between adjoining subcarriers due to an inter-symbol interference due to the frequency deviation of the main carrier.
The receiver is capable of quickly correcting the frequency by detecting amplitude variations due to frequency synchronization error on the receiver side by discriminating when variation is due to multipath disturbance and when variation is due to weak input.
