A Doppler frequency calculating apparatus that calculates a Doppler frequency, which is the magnitude of a time-dependent fluctuation of a characteristic of the transmission path through which an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) signal is transmitted, includes a received signal point memory operable to store a received signal point of a sub-carrier having a reference carrier signal of the OFDM signal, a modulated component eliminating section operable to eliminate a modulated component from the received signal point stored in the received signal point memory, and a Doppler frequency calculating section operable to calculate a Doppler frequency by performing frequency analysis on the received signal point of each sub-carrier from which the modulated component has been eliminated by the modulated component eliminating section.
