A receiver is provided which can avoid demodulation performance from deteriorating due to changes in circuit constants caused by changes over time and temperature-dependent changes, prevent an increase in the receiver size, and realize a cost reduction. A switch control section is provided to perform control such that an input terminal of one of a plurality of phase varying circuits is selectively connected through a first switch circuit to any of an output terminal of an RF amplifier and a local signal output terminal of a local signal generating circuit, whereby the one phase varying circuit serves as a calibration circuit in the calibration processing that is executed in the non-reception mode.

A wireless communication apparatus for receiving a packet formed of a signal modulated by OFDM includes the following elements. A band-pass filter extracts an OFDM signal of a desired band. A low-noise amplifier having a gain controlled according to a received-signal intensity amplifies the desired OFDM signal. A frequency converter down-converts the amplified OFDM signal into a baseband signal. An analog-digital converter converts the baseband signal into a digital signal. A first high-pass filter removes a DC offset from the baseband signal corresponding to a predetermined preamble portion of the packet. A frequency-offset estimator estimates a frequency offset from the sample signals constituting the baseband signal from which the DC offset has been removed by the first high-pass filter. A frequency-offset corrector removes the estimated frequency offset from the baseband signal. A demodulator demodulates subcarrier signals arranged in a frequency domain from the baseband signal compensated for the frequency offset.
