A light receiving unit includes photoelectric conversion elements () in which first pixels () are arrayed linearly along a long side of a parallelogram-shaped semiconductor substrate () and second pixels () are arrayed linearly at a location separated away from the first pixels () by a predetermined interpolation pixel distance. An output data processor that generates image data based on outputs of the photoelectric conversion elements () performs time correction of the image data by coupling image data based on outputs of the second pixels () with image data based on outputs of the first pixels () that have a time shift equal to a scanning time corresponding to the interpolation pixel distance.

A radio frequency circuit is disclosed which includes a low-noise amplifier and a mixer integrated on the same semiconductor chip by using a silicon BiCMOS process. The low-noise amplifier has a silicon bipolar junction transistor and the mixer has a silicon MOS type field effect transistor. In the radio frequency circuit, the mixer can include two silicon MOS type field effect transistors one of which has a source connected to a drain of the other silicon MOS type field effect transistor and a gate of one silicon MOS type field effect transistor is supplied with a local signal and a gate of the other silicon MOS type field effect transistor is supplied with a radio frequency signal amplified by the low-noise amplifier.
