Abstract:
1. An OFDM receiving apparatus, comprising: N (N is an integer of two or more) sets of reception and demodulation units which input one segment broadcasting signals of terrestrial digital broadcasting received with N sets of antennas and demodulate the signals; a buffer unit which comprises N sets of buffers which hold temporarily N sets of demodulated data, which are demodulated in the N sets of reception and demodulation units, respectively, and reads in time division the N sets of demodulated data written in the N sets of buffers; and an error correction unit which inputs N sets of demodulated data read from the buffer unit in time division, performs error correction one by one, and, in the process of the error correction, multiplexes the N sets of demodulated data, which have been error-corrected, in a period not used by one segment reception to output the data as one transport stream multiplex data.
