Mimo detector

Abstract

A MIMO detector for use in MIMO-OFDM wireless communication that forms a plurality of propagation paths by using a plurality of transmitting and receiving antennas includes: an inverse matrix calculator operating as an inverse matrix calculation unit configured to calculate an inverse matrix of a matrix of the propagation path based on a signal received by a receiver; a detection speed controller operating as an estimation unit configured to estimate a variation in the propagation path over time; and a phase synchronization circuit and a regulator configured to variably control a processing time required to calculate the inverse matrix by the inverse matrix calculator, according to the variation in the propagation path over time estimated by the detection speed controller. The MIMO detector is provided on the side of the receiver of the wireless communication.
