A receiver has a receiving unit including a PLL, a mixer, and a filter, and demodulating unit including a frequency error detector for detecting a frequency error in a signal from a filter. The PLL includes a local oscillator for supplying a local oscillation signal to a mixer, a variable frequency divider for frequency-dividing the local oscillation signal based on a signal from the frequency error detector, and a phase comparator for comparing a signal from the variable frequency divider with a signal from a crystal oscillator. The PLL can reduce the frequency error of the local oscillation signal.
