Receiving apparatus for receiving satellite broadcasting electric wave to be mounted mobile vehicle being realized at low cost and not influence by the weather etc. The apparatus is provided with an antenna of which directivity pattern can be varied, and by a geomagnetism sensor mechanically coupled with said antenna to detect present orientation of the antenna, and comprising antenna controlling means by which the directivity pattern of the antenna is directed towards objective broadcasting satellite based on said detected orientation output. When an electric wave from a gap-filler station is to be received, the antenna is controlled to become non-directivity pattern automatically. For the antenna, a microstrip patch antenna having a plurality of conductive patches arranged in a plane is used.
