Abstract
A wireless receiver realizes multi-band and multi-mode operations while reducing power consumption of a local oscillator. The receiver includes the local oscillator for discontinuously changing a band of a local oscillation signal corresponding to a frequency band of an RF signal to be received and outputting the local oscillation signal, a frequency converter for converting the RF signal into an IF signal by using the local oscillation signal, and a demodulator for demodulating the IF signal. The local oscillator detects a frequency variation range of the local oscillation signal, obtains a frequency equivalent to an integral multiple of a symbol rate from the frequency variation range, and outputs the local oscillation signal having a local oscillatory frequency, causing a center frequency of a channel to be received, which channel is included in the intermediate frequency signal, to be equivalent to the integral multiple of the symbol rate.
