To provide a receiving apparatus and a receiving method capable of demodulating received data stably even against amplitude variations of a received signal and a code error due to noise.

An incidence rate calculation section 140 obtains an incidence rate RF of received pulses on the basis of the number of the received pulses RP received by each update time UT and known transmission rate information of an OOK modulation signal, and a threshold value conversion section 150 converts the incidence rate RF into a threshold voltage Vt for the comparison by a comparator 111 of a level comparison section 110 and controls the incidence rate RF of the received pulses so that the incidence rate RF is convergent to a reference value.
