    摘要: A provisional symbol discrimination timing detection unit detects a provisional symbol discrimination timing of a received signal modulated by a multi-subcarrier modulation scheme. A provisional symbol extraction unit demodulates the received signal and outputs, as a provisional demodulated symbol, a demodulated signal value of the provisional symbol discrimination timing of the demodulated signal for each subcarrier, demodulated signal being obtained by quadrature-demodulating the received signal. A phase difference detection unit detects a phase difference between the phase of the output provisional demodulated symbol of the received signal at a predetermined position and the phase of a reference symbol at this position. A symbol discrimination timing correction unit obtains a time difference between the provisional discrimination timing and the reference symbol discrimination timing on the basis of a subcarrier frequency and the detected phase difference for each subcarrier and corrects the provisional symbol discrimination timing on the basis of the time difference.
