- each differential detection value of CP carrier becomes vectors close to each other, and Each differential detection value is a random vector. Therefore, in the correlation calculation unit corresponding to the arrangement pattern of the CP signal based on the transmitted pilot pattern and the FFT size in the carrier expansion mode, each differential detection value of CP carrier for all multipliers whose tap coefficient is set to 1 When is input, the correlation value becomes large, and since the subcarriers of random differential detection values are included at different shift positions, the correlation value becomes small.
- the correlation calculation unit other than the correlation calculation unit corresponding to the arrangement pattern of the CP signal based on the transmitted pilot pattern and FFT size in the carrier expansion mode, all differential detection values of the CP carrier have tap coefficients.
- the correlation value is small because it is not input to the full multiplier set to 1 and a subcarrier that is not a CP carrier is always included.

- the arrangement is shifted by half of the difference in the number of subcarriers. This is because the CP carrier position determined from the values shown in FIG. 45, FIG. 46 to FIG. 49 and FIG. 50 is the effective subcarrier number, and the Normal mode and the Extended mode are effective as shown in FIG. This is because there is a shift in the start position of the subcarrier position. Therefore, the shift of the physical subcarrier position of the CP carrier in the extended mode and the normal mode is half ⁇ f (see FIG. 42) of the difference in the number of subcarriers in the extended mode and the normal mode.
- the positional relationship between the Normal mode and the Extended mode is merely shifted, and in the Extended mode, only a few more CP carriers are added.
- the correlation of the Normal mode at the correct subcarrier position and the ⁇ f shift There is almost no difference from the correlation of the Extended mode at the location where the Therefore, it is not possible to distinguish whether the wide band carrier frequency shift is generated in the normal mode or the wide band carrier frequency shift of ⁇ f in the extended mode, and an erroneous wide band carrier frequency error amount is detected. there is a possibility.
- an error amount (wide band carrier frequency error amount) in the subcarrier interval unit of P1 symbol is first detected using P1 symbol, and other than P1 symbol is detected based on the wide band carrier frequency error amount detected using P1 symbol. If carrier frequency offset correction is performed on the symbols (P2 symbol, data symbol, Frame Close symbol), the amount of error in the subcarrier interval unit of the symbols other than the P1 symbol (wide band carrier frequency error amount ) Fit in at most ten subcarriers. Therefore, it is sufficient to set only a dozen or so subcarriers as the detection range. In this detection range, the shift amount less than ⁇ f is sufficient, and in view of the value of ⁇ f shown in FIG.
- the upper limit of the detection range in the wide band fc error calculation unit 37 may be set to half ( ⁇ f) of the difference in the number of effective subcarriers between the normal mode and the extended mode.
