| 20100086083 | RECEIVING APPARATUS AND RECEIVING METHOD - It is an object of the present invention to reduce deterioration of the receiving performance due to the inter-carrier interference after a discrete Fourier transform in a receiving apparatus with an OFDM signal. A frequency transform part transforms a frequency of a received signal to a desired frequency. A time axis data expansion part extracts at least K+N pieces of data corresponding to one symbol including a guard interval from output of the frequency transform part to generate 2N pieces of data by adding zero before and after the extracted data. A window shaping part shapes a waveform by multiplying output of the time axis data expansion part by a window coefficient, and a discrete Fourier transform part performs a discrete Fourier transform with respect to output of the window shaping part. A demodulation part performs a demodulation of a sub-carrier by extracting a sub-carrier component. An inter-carrier interference component calculation part calculates an inter-carrier interference component from output of the discrete Fourier transform part. A window coefficient generation part selects a window coefficient on the basis of output of the inter-carrier interference component calculation part to output to the window shaping part. | 04-08-2010 |
