Abstract
A received signal determination method includes: receiving a positioning signal; performing correlation calculations on the received positioning signal using a code replica of one spreading code among the plurality of spreading codes; selecting a total peak value and a remote peak value, the total peak value being a first maximum correlation value among correlation values obtained by the correlation calculations, and the remote peak value being a second maximum correlation value among correlation values apart from a phase of the total peak value by a phase equal to or greater than a given phase; changing a threshold value condition for the total peak value based on the remote peak value; and determining whether or not the received positioning signal is spread-modulated with the one spreading code by determining whether or not the total peak value satisfies the threshold value condition.
