To provide a broadcast receiver and a broadcast transmitter that can change target data for BER measurement and obtain an exact BER measurement result.

A radio signal transmitted by a CDM system is passed through a tuner 3 to become a base-band signal, and a CDM demodulator 4 performs demodulation processing for multiplexing; and broadcast channel units 4a, 4b, 4c, and 4d output broadcast data, and a control channel unit 4e outputs control data. The control data is input to a BER measurement/control unit 11 which measures a direct bit error rate, and control data after error correction by an FEC unit 5e which performs forward error correction processing is also input to the BER measurement/control unit 11. The BER measurement/control unit 11 compares selected control data with bit pattern data for BER measurement read out of an EEPROM 12 to perform BER measurement.
