Abstract

The object of this invention is to demodulate received signals having different received signal frequencies with the simple circuit configuration. With the present invention, the fixed frequency signals are generated at the fixed PLL unit 310, and simultaneously, the standard frequency signals corresponding respectively to GSM/DCS received RF signals are generated at the channel PLL unit 330. And using the image removal mixer 370 jointly to received RF signals, local oscillation signals having local oscillation frequencies equal to the received signal frequencies of the received RF signals respectively are formed from the fixed frequency signals and the standard frequency signals for receiving. And since the quadrature demodulators 254 and 264 demodulate the received RF signals using corresponding local oscillation signals respectively, the circuit configuration can be simplified by sharing the image removal mixer 370. Thereby, receiving signals having different received signal frequencies can be demodulated with the simple circuit configuration.
