An improved noise removal device (1) capable of improving a removal precision of removing a pulse noise from a received signal. The noise removal device comprises: a hold control unit (3) for receiving an input signal containing a received signal and a pulse noise mixed in the received signal, detecting pulse noise occurring periods, and deciding hold periods corresponding to the pulse noise occurring periods; a pilot signal extracting unit (4) for extracting a pilot signal from the input signal; a pilot signal removing unit (5) for removing and outputting a pilot signal from the input signal; a main signal extracting unit (6) for extracting a main signal from the input signal; a hold circuit (7) for holding, during hold periods, signal containing the main signal outputted from the main signal extracting unit (6); and a signal synthesizing unit (10) for synthesizing the pilot signal with a signal outputted from the hold circuit (7) during hold periods and with a signal outputted from the pilot signal removing unit during periods other than hold periods, thereby producing and outputting a received signal free from any pulse noise. <IMAGE> |
