An OFDM demodulator that demodulates an OFDM signal includes an antenna that receives a signal including delayed signals, an estimation circuit that estimates the channel response of the received signal, and a control circuit that controls a length of a retention time interval based on the estimated channel response. The retention time interval includes a time period from the head of a delayed signal having a maximum delay time in the delayed signals to the tail of a preceding signal in the delayed signals based on the estimated channel response. The OFDM demodulator also includes a retention memory that retains a portion of the received signal corresponding to the retention time period, and a selection circuit that selects an OFDM symbol based on a calculation of a maximum likelihood that the retained received signal is equivalent to a signal replica based on the channel response.

A patch having a circular shape for instance is formed on the main surface of a substrate in the shape of, for example, an equilateral triangle. The center of the main surface of the patch is at a position different from the center of the substrate. A grounding conductor is disposed on the backside of the substrate. Power is supplied to the patch through, for example, a microstrip line, triplate line, coplanar waveguide, slot line or the like. An antenna configured as described above has the center of the patch at a position different from the center of the triangle substrate, so that beams can be tilted in a desired direction by a single patch and a single feeder circuit.
