Patent ID: 7164895

Claim:
A receiver which is of a superheterodyne type which uses a plurality of frequency bands as reception bands, comprising: an antenna tuned circuit for selecting and obtaining a target frequency signal from a received signal; a PLL including a VCO and a first variable divider circuit capable of changing an oscillation frequency of the VCO by changing a division ratio N of the first variable divider; a second variable divider circuit for dividing an oscillation signal supplied from the VCO by a division ratio n to provide a local oscillation signal; and a mixer circuit for subjecting a received signal obtained from the antenna tuned circuit to frequency conversion into an intermediate frequency signal by the local oscillation signal, wherein the division ratio N of the first variable divider circuit and the division ratio n of the second variable divider circuit are set so that a tracking error between a tuning frequency of the antenna tuned circuit and the oscillation frequency of the local oscillation signal is corrected for.
