A downconverter and upconverter are provided which can obtain a sufficient
image rejection ratio in a low-Intermediate Frequency (IF) scheme while
reducing power consumption and can suppress Error Vector Magnitude
(EVM)-related degradation in a zero-IF scheme. A complex-coefficient
transversal filter rejects one side of a positive or negative frequency,
and converts a Radio Frequency (RF) signal to a complex RF signal
configured by real and imaginary parts. A local oscillator outputs a real
local signal with a set frequency. A half-complex mixer, connected to the
complex-coefficient transversal filter and the local oscillator, performs
a frequency conversion process by multiplying the complex RF signal
output from the complex-coefficient transversal filter and the real local
signal output from the local oscillator, and outputs a complex signal of
a frequency separated by the set frequency from a frequency of the RF
signal.
