A receiving device which receives a signal transmitted from a transmitting device by using a power amplifier, the receiving device includes a calculating unit which performs distortion compensation on a symbol included in a reception signal, a delay unit which holds a signal for a result from the distortion compensation, and the calculating unit performing the distortion compensation on a second symbol at a timing later than a first symbol based on a coefficient corresponding to an amplification characteristic of the power amplifier and on the signal for the result from the distortion compensation with respect to the first symbol held by the delay unit.
