摘要

An equalizing and error correcting section includes an equalizing section, an error processing sections, and a select section. The equalizing section outputs the received data subjected only to channel compensation and phase rotation compensation and the received data subjected not only to those compensations but also to power amplifier distortion compensation. These two received data items are subjected to an error process separately at the error processing sections. On the basis of the decisions at the error processing sections, the select section makes a final decision whether the receiving process has been successful or unsuccessful. That is, if either of the two decisions has been successful, the receiving process is regarded as successful. Only if both of the two decisions have been unsuccessful, the receiving process is regarded as unsuccessful.
