The invention relates to a fading frequency estimating apparatus that performs a predetermined signal processing on a radio frequency signal that arrives through a radio transmission channel, to estimate a frequency of fading occurring on the radio transmission channel. An object of the present invention is to quickly and accurately estimate a fading frequency without need to use a very complicated structure. The fading frequency estimating apparatus includes a frequency analyzing section obtaining at two instances a frequency spectrum of a sequence of differences in instantaneous values of envelop of signals that chronologically arrive through the radio transmission channel, the two instances apart from each other with an interval necessary for a characteristic of the radio transmission channel to be steady, and it includes an estimating section estimating a frequency of fading to be such a frequency that the magnitude of the frequency spectrum is to be maximum.
