A reception device, which communicates with a transmission device having multiple transmission antennas, includes: at least one reception antenna which receives multiple transmission signals that are transmitted from the multiple transmission antennas by the transmission device; a Fourier transform unit which transforms the signals received by the reception antenna from a time domain into a frequency domain; a propagation channel estimating unit which calculates propagation channel estimation values by estimating propagation channels between the multiple transmission antennas and the reception antenna; and a signal detecting unit which detects the multiple transmission signals by dividing multipaths from the signals that are transformed into the frequency domain by the Fourier transform unit.
