Disclosed is a small-size receiver that exhibits high sensitivity when
used with a plurality of frequencies or a plurality of radio communication systems.
To provide a small-size, high-sensitivity, direct conversion receiver for use with
a plurality of frequencies or a plurality of radio communication systems, the present
invention has a high-frequency-input signal path for a low-noise amplifier optimized
for use with various frequencies or radio communication systems. The high-frequency-input
signal path includes at least one band-pass filter and its input and output matching
circuits. A low-loss switching means is used to connect an optimum high-frequency-input
signal path to the low-noise amplifier in accordance with a selected operation mode.
