A radio receiver includes a channel estimation unit, phase difference
vector generation unit, correction coefficient setting unit, and noise
estimation unit. The channel estimation unit obtains a channel estimated
value from a received signal at a predetermined period by using a known
pilot signal. The phase difference vector generation unit obtains a phase
difference vector between the preceding channel estimated value and the
current channel estimated value. The correction coefficient setting unit
sets a correction coefficient corresponding to the phase difference
vector. The noise estimation unit obtains a corrected noise estimated
value by correcting a noise estimated value on the basis of the received
signal and the correction coefficient. A noise estimated value correction
method is also disclosed.
