A receiver apparatus comprises a receiving part (1), which includes a PLL (10), a mixer (6) and a filter (8), and a demodulating part (2) which includes a frequency error detector (24) for detecting a frequency error of a signal from the filter (8). The PLL (10) includes a local oscillator (7) for supplying a local oscillation signal to the mixer (6); a variable frequency divider (102) for frequency dividing, based on a signal from the frequency error detector (24), the local oscillation signal; and a phase comparator (104) for comparing a signal from the variable frequency divider (102) with a signal from a crystal oscillator (12). The PLL (10) can lessen the frequency error of the local oscillation signal.
