When a correlation judging circuit judges that the correlation degree between r pulses in a reception signal and a generated substantially the same template as the r pulses is small, a pulse number adjusting circuit outputs a pulse number signal representing s pulses in place of the r pulses, and a template generating circuit generates the substantially the same template as the s pulses, whereby the correlation judging circuit judges the correlation degree between the r pulses in the reception signal and the generated substantially the same template as the s pulses. Accordingly, even when a confronted transmitter changes the number of pulses contained in a reception signal, synchronization capture of the reception signal can be established.
