Abstract:
1. A receiving apparatus comprising: a plurality of antennae; antenna selection means for selecting one antenna out of the plurality of antennae; reception means for receiving a prescribed radio wave via said antenna selected by said antenna selection means; reception level signal creation means for creating a reception level signal indicating reception electric field strength for said radio wave received by said antenna selected by said selection means; extraction means for extracting multiple propagating wave components of said radio wave in said reception level signal as a multiple propagating wave strength signal; and reception level signal correction means for correcting said reception level signal by using said multiple propagating wave strength signal to create a corrected reception level signal without said multiple propagating wave components, wherein said antenna selection means obtains said corrected reception level signal for said plurality of antennae by selecting the plurality of antennae in order in response to reception start of said radio wave by said reception means, and selects an antenna with the corrected reception level signal of a highest signal level.
