Abstract
The frequency modulation circuit includes: a phase shift section for receiving a multiphase clock signal composed of a plurality of clock signals having a predetermined phase difference therebetween and shifting the phase of the multiphase clock signal; a clock selection section for selecting a clock signal constituting the multiphase clock signal output from the phase shift section; and a modulation control section for controlling the phase shift section and the clock selection section so that a clock signal having a frequency different from the frequency of the multiphase clock signal input into the phase shift section is output from the clock selection section.
