Abstract: In case of estimating propagation path characteristics of signals sent through different propagation paths from a plurality of antennas in transmission antenna diversity configured to transmit data from such antennas, the process of estimating properties of individual propagation paths and demodulating data by despreading pilot signals, separating each pilot signal through each propagation path from received pilot signals and filtering the pilot signals to estimate properties of individual propagation paths can be simplified to contribute to reduction of the circuit size. That is, by using that a pilot signal (P1) and a pilot signal (P2) intersect orthogonally not only in every two symbols but also in every four or eight symbols, such pilot signals (P1, P2) can be separated by addition or subtraction of data of L symbols (four symbols or eight symbols), which will intersect orthogonally.
