    An OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency) including one or both of an additional information signal transmitted at a predetermined frequency and a continuous pilot signal transmitted at a predetermined frequency, and a distributed pilot signal distributed in the frequency direction and the time direction. In the OFDM receiver that receives the (divided multiplex) signal, the received OFDM signal is input, and the fast Fourier transform is performed on the time axis based on the FFT window that defines the range on the time axis for performing the fast Fourier transform. A fast Fourier transform unit that converts the data on the frequency axis into data on the frequency axis, an interpolation unit that interpolates the distributed pilot signal output from the fast Fourier transform unit, and the additional information signal output from the fast Fourier transform unit. Reception quality using the equalization unit that equalizes one or both of the continuous pilot signal and the continuous pilot signal with reference to the distributed pilot signal that is interpolated and output from the interpolation unit, and the equalization output of the equalization unit. A reception quality signal detection unit that detects a reception quality signal representing the above, and an FFT window control that controls the position of the FFT window so that the reception quality is improved based on the reception quality signal detected by the reception quality signal detection unit.
