摘要:
A signal separation device is disclosed that is able to reduce a number of calculations required when separating a received signal transmitted from transmission devices into the individual transmission signal. The signal separation device includes a signal point derivation unit that multiplies the received signal with respective elements of a unitary matrix, and derives at least one received-signal signal point on a signal constellation diagram; a definition unit that defines plural sections on the signal constellation diagram, each of the sections including a predetermined number of signal points; a detection unit that detects a received-signal section from the sections, the received-signal section including the received-signal signal point; a selection unit that selects signal points in the received-signal section as candidates of the received-signal signal point; and a determination unit that determines the transmission signals based on the selected signal points.

A signal detection apparatus improving signal detection accuracy in a receiver for communications system complying with the MIMO scheme. The signal detection apparatus detects transmission signals sent from transmission antennas based on received signals received by receiving antennas. The apparatus includes: a first determination mechanism for determining symbol candidates of the transmission signals in sequence based on the QRM-MLD method using the received signals arranged in first order; a second determination mechanism for determining symbol candidates of the transmission signals in sequence based on the QRM-MLD method using the received signals arranged in second order that is different from the first order; and an output mechanism for outputting symbol candidates and likelihood of the transmission signals based on determination results of at least the first and the second determination mechanisms.

A channel estimation device is provided to achieve high-precision channel estimation in a MIMO or multicarrier wireless receiver. This channel estimation device is used in the wireless receiver that receives pilot signals through reception antennas. The pilot signals are modulated by a multicarrier method and are transmitted from transmission antennas. The pilot signals are orthogonal to one another. The channel estimation device includes: an estimation unit that determines a channel estimate value for each unit time slot and each unit sub carrier; and an averaging unit that averages the channel estimate values over time slots including a target time slot and sub carriers including a target sub carrier, thereby determining an average channel estimate value.
