Patent number: 9344126Abstract: Disclosed are a receiving apparatus, a receiving method, and a program capable of reliably obtaining predetermined information. In a case where a broadband signal where the same control information is arranged in different frequency bands is received and processed, a frequency where the control information is stably received is detected, and the control information is obtained again using the detected frequency. This frequency detection is performed by detecting a frequency capable of avoiding a no-signal band in a signal array of the broadband signal determined based on the obtained control information and the like. This technology can be applied to a receiving apparatus that receives a signal conforming to a DVB-C2 standard.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2012Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Hiroo Takahashi, Yuken Goto, Takuya Okamoto
