A DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) receiver includes a delay circuit for delaying a received DAB signal by a prescribed period, a correlation circuit for taking correlation between a delayed output of the delay circuit and the DAB signal, a moving average circuit for moving-averaging a correlation output of the correlation circuit over a width that is equal to a guard period, a peak detection circuit for detecting a position in time of a peak of a moving average output of the moving average circuit, a calculation circuit for calculating an error in a reception frequency based on a phase deviation in the DAB signal at the position in time that is indicated by a peak detection output of the peak detection circuit, an FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) circuit for subjecting the DAB signal to FFT processing, and a detection circuit for determining a reception center frequency based on an FFT output of the FFT circuit. The error in the reception frequency is corrected by controlling a local oscillation frequency based on a calculation output of the calculation circuit. An error in the reception frequency is corrected by performing carrier shifting based on a detection output of the detection circuit. As a result, the time necessary for tuning can be shortened.
