Claim Text:
1. A receiving device comprising: a dividing circuit configured to divide an input signal into N pieces of divided signals (where N is an integer of two or larger); N pieces of detectors configured to receive and process the N pieces of divided signals; and an averaging circuit configured to receive N pieces of output signals from the N pieces of detectors, averaging the output signals, and output an averaged signal, wherein the dividing circuit includes N−1 pieces of dividers, and divides the input signal into the N pieces of divided signals so that the divided signals have powers different from each other, and each of the dividers divides a dividing-target signal which is supplied into two divided signals having powers different from each other in accordance with a predetermined dividing ratio so as to enlarge a dynamic range of each of the detectors.
