Abstract: A signal processing device includes: a processor; and a memory having instructions. When executed by the processor, the instructions cause the signal processing device to perform operations including: converting a first signal that is a time domain signal into a second signal that is a frequency domain signal in response to reception of the first signal, the first signal containing noise superimposed on a broadcast electric signal derived from a broadcast electromagnetic wave, the noise having peaks of amplitude at regular frequency intervals in the frequency domain; calculating a frequency interval between the peaks of the noise in the frequency domain based on a correlation of the second signal; determining a frequency shift amount in the frequency domain based on the frequency interval; and shifting a frequency of the second signal by the frequency shift amount to create a frequency-shifted signal.
