Abstract

A band power computation device with which the amount of calculation required to compute channel power is reduced, and with which it is possible to obtain channel power with the same precision as when the channel power is obtained from the entire input signal. With this device, a subspace extraction unit () extracts a portion of the input signal. An FFT unit () performs a Fourier transformation on the extracted signal, generating a spectrum signal. A power computation unit () computes the channel power for each frequency from the spectrum signal. A power generation unit () expands the channel power to the same channel power as the channel power computed from the input signal, and smoothes the expanded channel power by performing a calculation sequentially from the highest frequency to the lowest frequency, said calculation using the expanded channel power and a prescribed constant.
