In a data receiving apparatus for estimating the phase of fading by the use of symbols, a phase decision plane calculator reads out, from a memory, pilot blocks disposed before and after the current time slot, and then calculates a reference phase plane (phase of QPSK carrier) on the basis of such pilot blocks. A decision is made as to whether fast fading is observed or not from the reference phase plane. And if the result of this decision signifies fast fading, the reference phase plane is corrected on the basis of phase error information outputted from an adder in a controller. In this apparatus, the required memory capacity can be reduced, and fast estimation of the fading phase is realized. <IMAGE> |
