A receiver in the present disclosure includes: a first input end, N first output ends, N baseband signal recovery modules, and a multiple-input multiple-output equalization module. Each baseband signal recovery module includes two second output ends; one second output end of each baseband signal recovery module is configured to output a baseband signal; and the other second output end is configured to output data enabling control information. The multiple-input multiple-output equalization module is configured to: control, based on N pieces of data enabling control information, a time sequence of N baseband signals entering the multiple-input multiple-output equalization module for equalization filtering processing, and perform equalization filtering processing on the N baseband signals by using N transmitters as references to obtain recovered data of the N transmitters. According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, asynchronous multi-transmitter data is received.
