- the power transmission device 10 Upon receiving OFDM signals via the plurality of antennas 11, the power transmission device 10 estimates a reception response vector for information communication (step S12). Since the center frequency of the OFDM signal is the null subcarrier, the channel characteristics estimated by the power transmission device 10 do not include the channel characteristics. Therefore, the power transmission device 10 estimates the channel characteristics of the center frequency from other adjacent subcarriers by interpolation or the like.
