Patent ID: 7961824

Claim:
A receiving apparatus in a radio communication system, the apparatus comprising: a guard interval removing unit that removes a guard interval from a reception signal to reduce an influence due to delayed waves, and outputs an interval signal; a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) unit that applies a fourier transform to the interval signal, and outputs a fourier signal; a channel estimating unit that estimates a propagation channel based on the fourier signal or the reception signal to obtain channel information; a pilot reproducing unit that reproduces a pilot signal included in the reception signal based on information on the channel information; a matrix generating unit that generates, by using the pilot signal as a null carrier, a frequency equalization matrix for realizing frequency equalization based on the channel information; a subtracting unit that subtracts the reproduced pilot signal from the fourier signal to obtain a subtraction-result signal; and a matrix multiplying unit that multiplies the frequency equalization matrix with the subtraction-result signal to obtain a resultant frequency equalization matrix.
