Abstract

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a signal processing device including: a Fourier transform processing unit that converts an input signal into a frequency domain signal for each block having a size N; a multiplication processing unit that performs filtering processing on the converted frequency domain signal by using a filter weighting coefficient; an inverse Fourier transform processing unit that performs inverse Fourier transform processing on the frequency domain signal on which the filtering processing is performed; and an output signal selection unit that stores N/2+Δ symbols centered on an N/2-th output symbol from the head among output symbols having a size N which are obtained by performing inverse Fourier transform processing, and outputs a signal obtained by discarding output symbols other than the stored output symbols.
