Abstract
Abstract A digital radio communication apparatus includes a reception system and a transmission system. The reception system includes a first frequency converter and a quadrature demodulator. The first frequency converter frequency-converts a reception signal and outputs the converted signal as a first IF signal. The quadrature demodulator performs quadrature demodulation of the first IF signal. The transmission system includes a quadrature modulator and a second frequency converter. The quadrature modulator performs quadrature modulation of a transmission signal and outputs the modulated signal as a second IF signal. The second frequency converter frequency-converts the second IF signal and transmits the converted signal. The frequency difference between the first and second IF signals is set to coincide with the frequency interval between a transmission frequency and a reception frequency. The frequency of one of the first and second IF signals is set to be an integer multiple of the frequency of the other IF signal.
