A receiver and a composite component for preventing noise produced by
sneaking of a local oscillation signal. An FM receiver comprises a
high-frequency amplifier circuit 11, a mixing circuit 12, a local
oscillator 13, intermediate-frequency filters 14 and 16, an
intermediate-frequency amplifier circuit 15, a limit circuit 17, an FM
detection circuit 18, and a stereo demodulation circuit 19. The mixing
circuit 12 and the local oscillator 13 constitute a one-chip composite
component 30 integrally formed on a semiconductor substrate. The
frequency of the local oscillation signal is set so that the difference
of frequency between the local oscillation signal and a modulated wave
signal may be smaller than the occupied bandwidth of the modulated wave
signal.
