1. A digital wireless communication apparatus comprising:
- a first modulator that modulates a pilot symbol according to a first modulation scheme;
a second modulator that modulates specific symbols according to a second modulation scheme, which is different from said first modulation scheme; and
a timing controller that controls timing so that the modulated specific symbols are inserted immediately before and after the modulated pilot symbol.

Abstract
In a multivalue modulation type with one pilot symbol inserted for every 3 or more symbols, signal points of each one symbol immediately before and after a pilot symbol are modulated using a modulation type different from that for pilot symbols. In this way, it is possible to suppress deterioration of the accuracy in estimating the reference phase and amount of frequency offset by pilot symbols and improve the bit error rate characteristic in the signal to noise ratio in quasi-coherent detection with symbols whose symbol synchronization is not completely established.
