Noise cancellation method, receiver circuit, and electronic instrument

A receiver circuit comprising:

• a cancellation signal generation section, an interference wave signal detected near a receiver section being input to the cancellation signal generation section, the cancellation signal generation section changing the phase and the amplitude of the input signal to generate a cancellation signal that cancels the input signal;
• an addition section that adds the cancellation signal to a communication signal received by the receiver section;
• a correlation calculation section that performs correlation calculations on the communication signal to which the cancellation signal has been added by the addition section and a code replica of a PRN code used for the communication signal, within a given correlation calculation target range that is included within a code phase range and a frequency range;
• and
• a cancellation signal generation control section that performs the correlation calculations outside the correlation calculation target range, and controls a phase shift amount and an amplitude change rate of the input signal based on the correlation calculation result.
