A diversity receiving device includes a
processing circuit in which receiving units, AFC and
synchronizing units, and demodulating units for a plurality of systems are connected, received
signal intensity detecting units 104 and 105 that detect the intensities of output signals of the respective receiving units so as to output reception intensity detection signals, a
control unit that determines to select one
system as a synthesis pattern of
demodulation signals based on a predetermined judgment criterion according to the respective reception intensity detection signals or to select a plurality of systems so as to add
demodulation signals and outputs a plurality of
clock interruption control signals requesting the interruption of a
clock supply to unselected systems and synthesis
pattern selection signals designating a synthesis pattern of
demodulation signals of the selected
system, a plurality of
clock supply units that interrupt the clock supply to the AFC and
synchronizing units and the demodulating units of the unselected systems according to the clock interruption
control signal, and a synthesizing unit that synthesizes demodulation signals of the selected
system according to the synthesis
pattern selection signals.
