Patent ID: 8170517

Claim:
A receiving apparatus comprising: a first mixing unit configured to output first and second mixed signals each having a first frequency that is a frequency difference between a received signal and a first local oscillator signal, a first phase difference between the first and second mixed signals being substantially 90 degrees; a phase control unit configured to output second and third local oscillator signals each having a second frequency, the second and third local oscillator signals having a second phase difference from each other corresponding to the first phase difference between the first and second mixed signals; and a second mixing unit configured to add a signal obtained by mixing the first mixed signal and the second local oscillator signal, and a signal obtained by mixing the second mixed signal and the third local oscillator signal, to output an intermediate frequency signal having an intermediate frequency that is a difference between the first frequency and the second frequency, the phase control unit including a phase correction unit configured to output a value substantially in proportion to a phase shift of the first phase difference with respect to 90 degrees, and a local oscillator configured to output the second and third local oscillator signals having the second phase difference obtained by subtracting the first phase difference from 180 degrees, based on the value output from the phase correction unit.
