Abstract: The communication system carries out signal processing adapted for transmission-channel characteristics. In the communication system, a right transmitter detects a transmission-signal-characteristics-correcting coefficient sent from a left receiver and corrects, according to the transmission-signal-characteristics-correcting coefficient, at least one of a transfer function and a spatial frequency characteristic of a transmission signal. The left receiver computes the transmission-signal-characteristics-correcting coefficient and a reception-signal-characteristics-correcting coefficient through the processes of detecting correlation of a reception signal, and carrying out eigenvalue decomposition on a product matrix obtained by multiplying a correlation matrix having the detected correlation as elements and a transported matrix of the correlation matrix together.
