Received signal processor and method for processing received signal

Abstract

An appropriate synthesized signal cannot be obtained by only correcting relative phase errors of a plurality of received signals; therefore, a received signal processor according to an exemplary aspect of the present invention includes a plurality of signal-to-noise ratio estimation means for estimating respective signal-to-noise ratios of a plurality of digital signal sequences in which relative phase errors of a plurality of received signal sequences having been corrected; a plurality of temporary decision means for performing symbol decisions of the plurality of digital signal sequences and outputting symbol signal sequences; symbol-map-rotation determination means for determining respective phase rotation amounts of the plurality of digital signal sequences from the plurality of symbol signal sequences and the respective signal-to-noise ratios of the plurality of digital signal sequences; and a plurality of phase rotation means for rotating phases of the plurality of digital signal sequences respectively based on the phase rotation amounts.
