The present invention provides a channel estimation apparatus in which channel estimation may be made higher than heretofore in accuracy and may be used for calculating the weight for an equalization filter to achieve an optimum equalizing performance. A subcarrier copying unit 20 copies K items of end-side subcarriers, using the channel estimation obtained by a correlation processing unit 14 and K which is a subcarrier copy number. An IDFT unit 15 transforms the channel estimation obtained at the subcarrier copying unit 20 into the time domain channel response. A noise path removing unit 16 removes noise paths from the channel response output from the IDFT unit 15. A DFT unit 17 performs DFT of the channel response, from which the noise paths are removed by the noise path removing unit 16, to output a noise-suppressed frequency domain channel estimation value. A weight calculation unit 5 inputs the frequency domain channel estimation value output from the DFT unit 17 to calculate an equalizing weight. |
