1. A time equalization method which performs an equalization on a time axis for a plurality of received signals comprising:
a first step of extracting timing phase information from a power spectrum of each of the plurality of received signals whose amplitudes are each modulated by using two reference point signals including a zero-point per frame, the first step comprising:
generating a first vector signal of the power spectrum,multiplying the first vector signal by a second vector signal to rotate the first vector signal,
performing a sign decision of the rotated first vector signal, integrating a result of the sign decision to be outputted as the timing phase information, and
performing a vector conversion of the integrated value to be fed back as the second vector signal; and
a second step of performing timing phase, synchronization of each of the plurality of received signals with the timing phase information.
