ABSTRACT:
The circuit size of a diversity receiver for an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing signal is reduced, and the diversity effect is increased, by providing a power ratio comparator that calculates a difference value as a ratio of powers derived from channel estimation results for subcarrier components received from two antennas (11), (21) and compares the calculated difference value with a predetermined threshold, and a selective/equal gain combining selector (33) that outputs one of the received demodulated signals when the comparison result indicates that the calculated difference value is greater than the threshold value.
