Abstract
The present technique relates to a receiving device, a receiving method, and a program that are designed to improve reception performance. A receiving device according to one aspect of the present technique includes: a gain control unit that adjusts the power of a signal including a first pilot signal transmitted as signals having a high correlation in terms of polar direction via different transmission channels, and a second pilot signal transmitted as signals having a low correlation in terms of polar direction via the different transmission channels; and a control unit that controls the followability of the gain at the gain control unit in accordance with a data transmission method. The present technique can be applied to a receiver that receives data transmitted by MISO (Multi Input, Single Output) compliant with the DVB-T2 standards.
