Patent ID: 7567790

Claim:
A receiving device comprising: a receiving circuit for receiving a first signal and a second signal transmitted at mutually different frequencies; a high-frequency amplifier for amplifying the first signal and the second signal received by said receiving circuit; a circuit for forming first and second local oscillation signals having frequencies at a center frequency between said first signal and said second signal and having phases that differ by 90° from each other; a first mixer circuit for frequency-converting a received signal received by said receiving circuit and amplified by said high-frequency amplifier into a first intermediate frequency signal in accordance with said first local oscillation signal; a second mixer circuit for frequency-converting the received signal received by said receiving circuit into a second intermediate frequency signal in accordance with said second local oscillation signal; a first phase-shift circuit to which said first intermediate frequency signal is supplied; a second phase-shift circuit to which said second intermediate frequency signal is supplied, in which the amount of phase shift in said second phase-shift circuit differs by 90° from an amount of phase shift of said first phase-shift circuit; and a switchable addition/subtraction circuit for selectively performing one of addition and subtraction between an output signal of said first phase-shift circuit and an output signal of said second phase-shift circuit, the selection of addition or subtraction being performed in response to a control signal received at the switchable addition/subtraction circuit, wherein, by switching said addition/subtraction circuit to perform addition or subtraction, the intermediate frequency signal corresponding to said first signal or the intermediate frequency signal corresponding to said second signal is selectively extracted from said addition/subtraction circuit.
