Abstract
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing demodulation apparatus includes: antenna to receive signal including holding period including part of period ranging from leading portion of delayed wave of maximum-delay time to trailing portion of preceding wave, unit estimating channel response of signal received by antenna, unit holding, based on channel response, first-signal component contained in holding period, first-signal component including second-signal component which is contained in period of preset length which is included in holding period, unit acquiring filter-bank outputs by subjecting second-signal component to frequency conversion, unit generating replicas for each of filter-bank outputs, based on estimated-channel response, frequency response of each of filter-bank outputs, and candidates for modulation signal corresponding to subcarrier included in each of filter-bank outputs, unit selecting one of replicas which minimizes quantity corresponding to differences between components of each of filter-bank outputs and components of replicas, and unit determining modulation signal based on selected replica.
