Abstract
A receiver includes a plurality of antennas, a selection switching unit for selectively switching between the plurality of antennas to output one of the respective output signals of the plurality of antennas having the largest induced voltage, and a unit for converting the selected one antenna output signal to an audio signal to be outputted as an output signal of the receiver. The receiver further includes a muting control unit for detecting the level of the induced voltage of the selected antenna output signal so as to output a muting control signal when the detected level of the induced voltage becomes smaller than a predetermined value, and a muting unit for muting the audio signal for a predetermined time on the basis of the muting control signal. The selection switching unit performs its antenna switching operation on the basis of the muting control signal.
