When an edge detecting unit detects a falling edge of a digital audio broadcasting (DAB) signal, a time instant of a timer, which has a periodic characteristic, is stored via a calculating unit into a memory. If there is one piece of data continued a number of times, when an output value of a timer becomes a value of this data offset by a frame time period, the calculating unit resets the timer. Subsequently, when the value of the timer becomes equal to the period length T, the calculating unit resets the timer and at the same time, outputs an L level to an output terminal only during a preselected time period after the timer is set to 0. Accordingly, even when another signal is mixed into a frame synchronizing signal of a DAB signal, the synchronizing signal timing is detected without increasing the time required to detect a frame header.
