Abstract
A demodulating method demodulates a received signal received by a demodulator unit by detecting an absolute phase of signal points of the received signal. The demodulating method includes a first step of detecting the absolute phase by a first phase detecting method, a second step of detecting the absolute phase by a second phase detecting method in parallel with the first step, where the second phase detecting method has a slower detection speed or a higher detection accuracy than the first phase detecting method, and a third step of determining the absolute phase based on a phase detection result of the first step when phase detection results of the first and second steps are the same, and determining the absolute phase based on the phase detection result of the second step when the phase detection results of the first and second steps are different.
