Abstract
An OFDM modulator includes an OFDM modulator section for conducting OFDM modulation on a signal, based upon an OFDM clock F , and outputting an OFDM signal, an adder for adding the OFDM clock F to a local signal F for frequency conversion, and a frequency converter for conducting frequency conversion on the OFDM signal supplied from the OFDM modulator section, based upon an output signal of the adder. The OFDM modulator thus outputs an IF signal having a frequency equivalent to that of the local signal. As a result, the floating frequency component of the OFDM clock on the OFDM modulator section side is canceled by the floating frequency component of the OFDM clock on the frequency adder side. There is thus obtained an IF signal which can be synchronized to a frequency (for example, 10 MHz) of an external device and which has the same frequency as that of the local signal F .
