Frequency error detecting device capable of correctly detecting a frequency error between a carrier frequency and a standard frequency.

摘要

Supplied with a transmitted signal defined by a sequence signal vectors each of which has a phase variation equal to a predetermined phase variation. A demodulator (11) quadrature demodulates a transmitted signal into a demodulated signal with reference to a standard signal of a standard frequency. The demodulated signal is defined by a sequence of demodulated vectors. An A/D section (21, 22) samples the demodulated vectors at a predetermined sampling rate to quantize the demodulated vectors into quantized vectors. A signal processor (31) compounds a composite vector from the quantized vectors within a predetermined number of the quantized vectors. The signal processor calculates a phase difference between the composite vector and a predetermined vector to detect a frequency error between the standard frequency and a carrier frequency of the transmitted signal. <IMAGE>
