Claim Text:
1. An OFDM reception device for receiving a signal in which any mode of modes of a scheme including a pilot carrier and a data carrier and a scheme including only a data carrier and no pilot carrier is used, the signal being transmitted by an OFDM modulation scheme, the OFDM reception device comprising: first calculation means that performs complex multiplication of the received OFDM signal by a signal obtained by delaying the OFDM signal by effective symbol period length, performs averaging processing for a signal obtained as a result of the complex multiplication, performs absolute value calculation processing for a complex multiplication signal obtained by the averaging processing, and thereby calculates a signal level; second calculation means that performs complex multiplication of the received OFDM signal by a signal obtained by delaying the OFDM signal by one symbol period length, performs averaging processing for a signal obtained as a result of the complex multiplication, performs absolute value calculation processing for a complex multiplication signal obtained by the averaging processing, and thereby calculates a signal level; comparison means that compares the signal level obtained by the first calculation means with the signal level obtained by the second calculation means, determines that the scheme is the scheme including a pilot carrier and a data carrier if the signal level obtained by the second calculation means is higher than the signal level obtained by the first calculation means, and determines that the scheme is the scheme including only a data carrier if the signal level obtained by the second calculation means is lower than the signal level obtained by the first calculation means at the comparison means; and means that generates a reception antenna direction adjustment signal from a signal obtained by switching between the signal level obtained by the first calculation means and the signal level obtained by the second calculation means on the basis of a result of the comparison means, and performs reception antenna direction adjustment using the generated direction adjustment signal.
