The present specification relates to a reception apparatus and method for demodulating a signal in a wireless AV system. The reception apparatus estimates a transmission signal on the basis of an MMSE weight matrix. The reception apparatus divides the estimated transmission signal for respective reception antennas and performs an IFFT. The reception apparatus estimates and compensates for phase noise for the respective reception antennas on the basis of the signal for which the IFFT has been performed. The reception apparatus demodulates the estimated and compensated signal for respective streams.
