  • Patent number: 11765007
    Abstract: A signal specification identification apparatus includes processing circuitry that estimates the transmission rate of a received signal, performs sampling frequency conversion on the received signal, calculates a probability corresponding to each of a plurality of candidates for a specification of the received signal, selects a candidate using the respective probabilities, and calculates reliability corresponding to a selected candidate, determines whether to output the selected candidate as an identification result or perform the sampling frequency conversion again, based on the reliability, and changes a parameter indicating the ratio of the sampling frequency conversion when it is determined that the sampling frequency conversion is to be performed again. Processing is repeated until the processing circuitry determines that the selected candidate as the identification result is to be output.
