Precision of channel estimation is improved. An OFDM reception apparatus for receiving and demodulating an OFDM signal which transmits a pilot signal, comprises a channel estimation section for calculating a channel response before interpolation by performing computation between a frequency-domain OFDM signal and the pilot signal, performing interpolation with respect to the before-interpolation channel response using a plurality of filters having different characteristics from each other, and outputting a plurality of interpolated channel responses based on respective results of the interpolation obtained by the plurality of filters, an equalization section for performing waveform equalization with respect to the frequency-domain OFDM signal based on the plurality of interpolated channel responses, and outputting a plurality of demodulated signals based on respective results of the waveform equalization corresponding to the plurality of interpolated channel responses, a determination section for determining one having best quality from the plurality of demodulated signals, and outputting a result of the determination, and a selection section for selecting and outputting one of the plurality of demodulated signals in accordance with the determination result.
