Receiving apparatus that receives packet signal in which a known signal is placed in the beginning of packet signal

Abstract

A detector receives detects a first known signal in a packet signal. An LTF correlation unit performs correlation processing on the packet signal received by a receiving unit. Upon detecting the arrival timing, an update correlation unit terminates a first window and performs correlation processing on the packet signal received by the receiving unit, in a second window. When correction timing is detected and when correction timing is more likely to be accurate than the arrival timing, an estimation unit changes the correction timing to the arrival timing; when the arrival timing is more likely to be accurate than the correction timing, the estimation unit maintains the arrival timing.
