According to the radio receiver, a first path P1 included in a frequency
conversion circuit 12 does not have a filter, and a filter 171 for
extracting a reference signal 74c is provided in a second path P2 so that
a second IF multiple signal 74 and the reference signal 74c are
multiplied together in a mixer section 12a. Consequently, by extracting
the reference signal 74c, the filter 171 in the second path P2 operates
as a local oscillation signal source synchronized with the second IF
multiple signal 74. Therefore, according to the signal obtained by
down-conversion of the second IF multiple signal 74 with use of the
reference signal 74c in the mixer section 12a, signals identical in
quality to input signals inputted on the transmission side can be
reproduced.
