Abstract
A first bit length representing the number of bits set to a predetermined code is found, which occur consecutively starting with the least significant bit of a first word among a plurality of words in a signal and continuing toward the most significant bit of the first word. From a second word following on the lower order side than the first word, a second bit length representing the number of bits set to the predetermined code is found, which occur consecutively starting with the most significant bit of a second word and continuing toward the least significant bit of the second word. A sum bit length is then calculated by adding the second bit length to the first bit length and compared with the bit length constituting a single word. From the results of the comparison, the position in the signal is detected at which bits set to the predetermined code occur consecutively by a length not less than the bit length constituting a single word.
