A signal evaluating device comprises: a binarizing portion for binarizing an input signal; a run length measuring portion for measuring the run length of the input signal during the evaluating interval, using the output of the binarizing portion as the input; and evaluating means for calculating, from the measurement results of the run length measuring portion, a distribution wherein the noise frequency distribution included in the input signal during the evaluating interval is assumed to be a geometric distribution, and for evaluating whether or not the input signal is valid through comparing the calculated frequency to the run length frequency obtained from the measurement results by the run length measuring portion (probability calculating portion, noise frequency calculating portion, and validity evaluating portion).
