The signal points are observed to rotate around the origin 0 on the IQ plane.

By the way, as shown in FIG. 5, among the symbol points, other symbol points having the same amplitude are present in the same quadrant (a plurality of symbol points on the circumference). There are some symbol points with the same amplitude that do not exist within the same quadrant (one symbol point is on the circumference). The latter symbol point is called a single symbol, and a received signal whose corresponding symbol is a single symbol is called a single signal. In the case of 64QAM, the phase of the single symbol on the IQ plane is π / 4.

Therefore, conventionally, when the frequency difference between the received carrier and the reproduced carrier is obtained, when the received signal is discriminated from the amplitude as a single signal, the phase of the reproduced carrier is used as a reference to determine the phase of the signal. When the received signal which is stored and continuously received is a single signal, the phase of the signal is again obtained with the phase of the reproduced carrier as a reference, and the difference from the previously stored phase value is taken. This difference Δθ is the change amount of the phase in one symbol time. Therefore, the frequency difference Δf between the reproduced carrier wave and the received carrier wave is obtained by the following equation, where t sym is the symbol time.

However, the conventional frequency comparison method has a problem that the frequency comparison between the reproduced carrier and the received carrier cannot be performed unless the received signals are two or more consecutive continuous signals. For example, in the case of 64QAM, the probability that a single signal will be transmitted twice consecutively is as small as 9/256 assuming that the signal is received randomly, and it is difficult to obtain a sufficient frequency comparison gain.

3. When demodulating a reception quadrature amplitude modulation signal,
In the frequency comparison method for obtaining the frequency difference between the received carrier wave and the reproduced carrier wave, the position of the first received signal point on the IQ plane is stored, and the second received signal point received next is the distance from the origin. When the symbols having the same number of 1 correspond to the symbols which exist only in the same quadrant, the IQ axis is rotated so that this second received signal point becomes the corresponding second symbol point, and the IQ axis is rotated. The first symbol point corresponding to the received signal point is determined from the position of the first received signal point after the operation, and the angle formed by the first received signal point, the origin, and the first symbol point. And the time difference between the received signals, the frequency difference is obtained from the frequency comparison method.
