ABSTRACT:
A digital reception apparatus includes a receiver that performs reception processing on a received signal and an adjuster that adjusts the amplitude of the received signal after the reception processing. A distortion estimator estimates a non-linear distortion of the received signal after the reception processing, the non-linear distortion being caused by the reception processing. A distortion corrector performs a distortion correction on the estimated non-linear distortion. A controller controls the adjuster based on a gain control signal such that the amplitude of a desired signal contained in the received signal after the reception processing and the distortion correction approaches a required level. The distortion estimator estimates the non-linear distortion of the received signal with reference to the gain control signal.
