Abstract: An A/D conversion section performs oversampling on an analog signal at a rate M times a symbol rate to convert the analog signal into a digital signal. A FIR filtering section has two delay-element sequences, each with a plurality of delay elements. The two delay-element sequences have different delay directions, i.e., a forward direction and a reverse direction. The delay directions can be switched, and according to a finite impulse response train having such delay-element sequences, a convolutional calculation is performed. A phase determining section determines a phase used in making a decision in a decision section. The decision section makes a decision on a filtered signal using the phase determined in the phase determining section to generate bit data. A digital signal receiving apparatus is thus achieved which determines a phase with a high accuracy without increasing the oversampling number, and performs a fast calculation while having a reduced circuitry scale.

Abstract: A master side communication apparatus and a slave side communication apparatus wherein the structure of a receiving part of the slave side communication apparatus is simplified to achieve a reduced size, a reduced power consumption and a reduced cost. The master side communication apparatus performs a communication in synchronism with the slave side communication apparatus having no synchronization timing adjusting function.

The transport signal generating timing adjusting part varies and adjusts, based on the acquired information, the transmission timing of the signal to be transmitted to the slave side communication apparatus.
