In an image rejection mixer, when a signal in the first radio frequency band is inputted to an input terminal, the first mixer and the second mixer convert the input signal in the first radio frequency band to a signal in the first intermediate frequency band by using the first local signal from a local signal oscillator, and a filter circuit attenuates an image interfering signal existing in the first intermediate frequency band by means of the first attenuation band. Also, when a signal in the second radio frequency band is inputted to the input terminal, the first mixer and the second mixer convert the input signal in the second radio frequency band to a signal in the second intermediate frequency band by using the second local signal from the local signal oscillator, and the filter circuit attenuates an image interfering signal existing in the second intermediate frequency band by means of the second attenuation band that is narrower than the first attenuation band.

A reception device according to the present invention includes: a step-variable gain amplifier; and a controller operable to control the gain of the step-variable gain amplifier based on the signal quality value of a demodulator. The gain of the step-variable gain amplifier varies within N gains from a first gain to an N-th gain, and the controller changes a number of the gain one by one when changing the gain of the step-variable gain amplifier. Thus, it is possible to realize a reception device using the step-variable gain amplifier requiring a low control voltage as compared to a continuously-variable gain amplifier.

Provided is a reception device that selectively receives an analog broadcast signal and a digital broadcast signal. The reception device includes: an oscillation unit operable to output an oscillator signal; a frequency conversion unit operable to output an IF (Intermediate Frequency) signal group based on the oscillator signal outputted from the oscillation unit and a reception signal; a filter unit connected to an output side of the frequency conversion unit; and a control unit operable to control a frequency of the oscillator signal outputted from the oscillation unit. The control unit controls: the frequency of the oscillator signal to be within a reception frequency band when receiving the digital broadcast signal; and the frequency of the oscillator signal to be outside the reception frequency band when receiving the analog broadcast signal. With this configuration, it is possible to improve reception quality when receiving an analog broadcast signal.

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.
