Abstract
An OFDM receiver apparatus mounted on a movable object for receiving an OFDM signal, includes a plurality of directional antennas which receive an OFDM signal, an estimator to estimate a center frequency of a spectrum of a Doppler component from one of the received signals or a multiplexed signal obtained by multiplexing the received signals, a shift quantity calculator to calculate a shift quantity from the estimated center frequency of the estimator and directivity information representing directivity directions of the directional antennas, a plurality of frequency shifters to subject the received signals to frequency shift according to the shift quantity to compensate for Doppler shift, a combining unit to diversity-combine frequency shifted signals of the frequency shifters, and a demodulator/decoder to demodulate and decode combining diversity signals of the combining unit.
