Abstract

Abstract A receiving mixer for a mobile radio transceiver designed to operate with multiple modulation modes and multiple frequency bands, has : a plurality of mixers each for converting a received radio frequency signal to an intermediate frequency; a common connection part to which output terminals of said mixers are connected in common; a plurality of impedance conversion circuit connected to said common connection part; and output terminals for said impedance conversion circuit; wherein said mixers are equal in number to the kinds of frequencies of said received radio frequency signal, the number of kinds of said intermediate frequencies is the same as the number of modulation modes that the frequency of said received radio frequency signal has, the number of said impedance conversion circuit is the same as the number of kinds of said intermediate frequencies, and each of said impedance conversion circuit passes only one uniquely predetermined frequency out of said kinds of intermediate frequencies.
