The object is to simplify the configuration of a filter in a reception apparatus. The reception apparatus includes a filter. The filter provided in the reception apparatus selects a signal transmission characteristic that is one of a band stop characteristic or a low pass characteristic. Further, selection of the signal transmission characteristic in the filter provided in the reception apparatus is performed in response to a desired signal and an interference signal. In the filter provided in the reception apparatus, passage of the desired signal and attenuation of the interference signal based on the selected signal transmission characteristic are executed.
