A frequency mixer includes a first N channel MOS transistor, second and third N channel MOS transistors constituting a local oscillator signal differential pair, and having substantially identical properties, a first load, and a second load. The first N channel MOS transistor receives an RF signal at its gate. A local oscillator signal is applied to the gates of the second and third N channel MOS transistors. The drain current of the second and third N channel MOS transistors is output to the drain of the first N channel MOS transistor. An amplitude-current conversion circuit receives the RF signal and provides an output current to the drain of the first N channel MOS transistor to decrease monotonously the output current with respect to the amplitude of the RF signal.

A gain control circuit includes a first path block for a gain control voltage and a second path block for a reference voltage. The first path block includes a voltage-current linear conversion unit for outputting a current which is proportional to a gain control voltage V.sub.ctrl, and which is inversely proportional to a resistivity, and also includes a temperature characteristic compensation unit for mirroring the current output by the voltage-current linear conversion unit and outputting a current I.sub.ctrl which is proportional to the gain control voltage V.sub.ctrl and an absolute temperature, and which is inversely proportional to the resistivity. The second path block has the same construction as the first path block except that it receives a reference voltage V.sub.ref and outputs a current I.sub.ref. The current I.sub.ctrl and the current I.sub.ref are supplied to a variable- gain cell so as to produce a voltage gain A.sub.v not affected by a variation in temperature.

An oscillator circuit is formed of a differential LC resonant circuit formed of an L load differential circuit including inductance-variable portions and a capacitive element, and a positive feedback circuit formed of N-channel MOS transistors. The inductance-variable portion is configured to vary the inductance by selecting a plurality of switch circuits arranged between a plurality of arbitrary positions on a spiral interconnection layer and the input/output terminal, and thereby can control an oscillation frequency. The inductance-variable portions form an inductor pair when the switch circuit among the switch circuits coupled between the first input/output terminals is turned on together with the switch circuit.
