1. A direct-conversion receiving apparatus comprising:
- dividing means for dividing a high frequency signal received through an antenna into two signals, a first signal and a second signal;
converting means for generating a first baseband signal from the first signal and a second baseband signal from the second signal, respectively, by frequency conversion of the first signal and the second signal using local signals with the same frequency as that of each of the first signal and the second signal so that there is an anti-phase relation between the first baseband signal and the second baseband signal; and
adding means for generating a baseband signal of a predetermined channel by taking a difference between the first baseband signal and the second baseband signal.

Abstract
In a direct-conversion receiving apparatus it is possible to prevent unnecessary emission from an antenna as well as deterioration of the error rate characteristics caused by DC offsets, a power dividing unit 104 divides an RF signal amplified in an RF amplifier 103 into four signals of first through fourth RF signals, phase-shifters 105-107 shift the phases of the second through fourth RF signals by 180°, 90° and 270°, respectively and mixers 108-111 generate first through fourth baseband signals by mixing the first RF signal and second through fourth RF signals after phase-shifting with local signals from a local oscillator 112, respectively.
