Claim:
A receiver for receiving a signal including a series of symbols, the signal having Time Window processing performed at portions including a boundary of adjacent symbols by a transmitter so as to eliminate a discontinuity between the symbols, the receiver comprising: a receiving unit that receives the signal; and a processor that extracts the series of symbols and performs an inverse processing of the Time Window processing on the portions in which the Time Window processing is performed at the transmitter, wherein the signal includes guard intervals inserted between the adjacent symbols, and the processor detects heads of a first symbol and a second symbol included in the series of symbols, removes the guard intervals from the signal, extracts the first symbol and the second symbol, extracts a portion having a predetermined width in the second symbol which is received after the first symbol, and performs the inverse processing of the Time Window processing on the portions in which the Time Window processing is performed at the transmitter, the portions having the predetermined width.
