Patent ID: 7054390

Claim:
A receiver comprising: an adaptive equalization apparatus that judges transmission data series based on adaptive equalization processing, the adaptive equalization apparatus including a timing detecting unit that detects a timing suitable for an adaptive equalization processing, by using a first unique word that is disposed at a front side of a burst format that constitutes a received signal; a received signal extracting unit that extracts a standardized received signal based on the detected timing; a CIR initial value estimating unit that estimates an initial value of a channel impulse response by using a first unique word included in the extracted received signal; a CIR initial value setting unit that sets a plurality of channel impulse response initial values of different timings based on the estimated initial value; and an adaptive equalizing unit that individually judges presence or absence of a timing slip when each initial value is used, by judging a distance between the first unique word and a second unique word disposed at a back side, and obtains a decision value by using a channel impulse response initial value that does not generate a timing slip and the extracted received signal.
