A receiving circuit includes a receiver configured to receive a signal, a detector configured to detect arrival of a reception signal based on a signal received by the receiver, a buffer configured to store therein data corresponding to the reception signal, a demodulation processor configured to demodulate data to be supplied, and a controller configured to store the data corresponding to the reception signal in the buffer when the detector does not detect the arrival of the reception signal, and to supply the data stored in the buffer to the demodulation processor when the detector detects the arrival of the reception signal.
