Abstract
Disclosed is a signal processing device that reduces the influence of an interfering wave to suppress the deterioration of a BER even if narrow-band noise is included in a communication band. In the signal processing device, which is capable of performing an FFT and performing a window function process as preprocessing before the FFT and achieves OFDM demodulation, the window function process is skipped to perform an FFT on a received signal if the frequency of narrow-band noise included in the received signal coincides with the subcarrier frequency of OFDM within a predetermined range. If the frequencies do not coincide with each other, the FFT is performed after the window function process is performed on the received signal. The signal processing device includes an NBN detection/determination section, which determines whether narrow-band noise is included in a subcarrier, and a window function determination section, which determines, in accordance with the degree of coincidence between the frequency of narrow-band noise and the frequency of a subcarrier, whether or not to perform the window function process.
