Abstract:
A center frequency F0 of an IF filter is effectively adjusted. The IF filter filters a down-converted signal centering around the center frequency F0. A pseudo sine wave generation circuit generates a pseudo sine wave having a level change of at least two steps respectively on both positive and negative sides. The pseudo sine wave is made to pass through the IF filter by a switch circuit, and in the state, an F0 adjustment circuit adjusts the center frequency F0 in the IF filter 14 by comparing a phase of the pseudo sine wave with a phase of a signal after passing through the IF filter.
