Receiving apparatus and receiving method

摘要

A receiving apparatus is disclosed which includes:
an amplification section configured to amplify a received signal including a digital broadcast signal; a mixing section configured to mix the received signal amplified by the amplification section with a selective frequency signal so as to acquire an intermediate frequency signal; a demodulation section configured to demodulate the intermediate frequency signal acquired by the mixing section so as to acquire a demodulated signal of the digital broadcast signal; and a control section configured to control the amplification factor of the amplification section in a manner bringing to a target level the signal level of the intermediate frequency signal acquired by the mixing section, the control section being further configured to set variably the target level in accordance with bit error status of the demodulated signal acquired by the demodulation section from the digital broadcast signal.
