A base point of a communication frame is detected by only using a reception signal, and an offset amount from the base point and the like are estimated. A device includes: an extraction unit for extracting self correlation processing signals from a digital communication signal having a signal frame for synchronization by using a pair of correlation processing windows of a variable size; a correlation unit for performing self correlation processing to the self correlation processing signals extracted; a matching unit for performing pattern matching processing between the correlation-processed signal, obtained through the self correlation processing, and a reference signal; and a computation unit for estimating the base point of the signal frame and an offset of the digital communication signal with respect to the base point, based on distance information of the pattern matching processing.
