Abstract
A channel estimation device comprises: a channel variation detection unit that determines whether variation width of a received signal level is not less than preset threshold width and whether variation period of received signal is not greater than preset threshold period; and a channel estimation unit that, if the channel variation detection unit determines that the variation width of the received signal level is not less than preset threshold width and that variation period is not greater than preset threshold period, refers to hysteresis of received signal level to determine whether lowering of received signal level is temporal, and, if it is determined that lowering of received signal level is temporal, allowing received signal to pass through, without removing received signal as noise, even when received signal level is not greater than signal level to be removed as noise.
