Abstract:
1. A receiver comprising: a receiving section which receives a resultant signal obtained by transmitting a transmission signal obtained by modulating a signal including a known signal and a data signal successively, and outputs the received resultant signal as a received signal; an estimation section which estimates transmission path characteristics; a compensation section which compensates for a portion of the received signal which corresponds to the data signal, and outputs the compensated signal as a compensated data signal; a demodulation section which demodulates the compensated data signal, and outputs the demodulated signal as a demodulated data signal; and a modulation section which modulates the demodulated data signal, and outputs the modulated signal as a modulated data signal, and wherein said estimation section said compensation section compensates for a portion of the received signal, which corresponds to the data signal, using the transmission path characteristics which are estimated by comparing a preceding portion of the received signal with the resultant signal corresponding to the preceding portion of the received signal.
