ABSTRACT:
A radio receiver comprises an LNA which amplifies An RF signal, a quadrature demodulator which directly demodulates the amplified RF signal into a B/B signal, using a LO signal, a VGA which amplifies the B/B signal, a DC offset canceller which executes feedback control on the amplified B/B signal, and a gain controller which controls at least the gain of the LNA, the gain controller including a signal intensity detector which detects the intensity of the amplified B/B signal, a gain selector which selects a desired one of preset gains on the basis of the detected intensity, a timing controller which controls timing of switching to the selected desired gain, and a gain control signal generator which changes, in accordance with the controlled timing, the interval at which an LNA gain control signal is generated.
