A reception apparatus for OFDM signals having a short initial rise time since start of reception until outputting the sound and/or a picture. An OFDM reception apparatus 1 of the ISDB-T standard presets the TMCC information at the outset in a memory 19 in association with each broadcasting station. This TMCC information contains the information on the RF frequency and the guard interval length, time interleaving pattern information, the information on the carrier modulation scheme and the information on the code rate of the convolutional code. When a user selects a broadcasting station, a control circuit 18 reads out the TMCC information associated with the broadcasting station from the memory 19. The control circuit 18 affords the read-out TMCC information to each circuit to set e.g., the guard interval or the carrier modulation scheme.

Timing and frequency offset processing in sub-carriers is performed in an Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting-Terrestrial (ISDB-T) receiver system. Sub-carriers are divided into two sub-sets, where the sub-sets contain an equal number of sub-carriers. Subsequently bad sub-carriers are removed, if present, from first sub-set of the sub-sets, and corresponding sub-carriers from a second sub-set of the sub-sets are also removed. Further, a phase difference on each sub-carrier from each sub-set is computed, and mean phase differences of each of the sub-sets are computed. Furthermore, frequency offset is computed by averaging the mean phase differences of the sets.
