A carrier converting equipment to be used such as for the reception of a satellite television broadcasting signal by an ordinary television receiver by adding a very simple adapter for converting such satallite signal for instance a frequency modulated microwave signal into an amplitude modulated VHF wave signal. The frequency modulated receiving input wave is amplitude modulated by an amplitude modulation adding circuit in which the wave is modulated for instance to have larger amplitude at the higher frequency portion and smaller amplitude at the lower frequency portion. This amplitude modulated wave is supplied to a non-linear element together with a desired carrier frequency signal. The carrier frequency signal is amplitude modulated in accordance with the amplitude of the applied amplitude modulated signal due to conductance variation of the non-linear element.
