An antenna level display device capable of faithfully reflecting any deterioration
of a picture quality in receiving a satellite broadcast. In this display device,
orthogonal detection of an input signal is executed in a demodulator, and a CN
ratio is calculated from a conversion table in a ROM according to the mean value
of deflections of mapped points of the received signal on an IQ plane. The demodulated
data is compared, in a comparator, with the demodulated data obtained after error
correction by a Viterbi decoder, and a CN ratio is calculated on the basis of the
bit error rate from a conversion table stored in another ROM. A decision is made
to select one CN ratio, which is to be displayed as an antenna level, out of the
two calculated CN ratios, and the selected CN ratio is displayed through adaptive
switching. Consequently, despite any deterioration of the receiving environment
derived from occurrence of phase noise in a converter or the like, it is still
possible to display a proper antenna level reflecting the receiving circumstances.
