Abstract

In a receiving and transmitting apparatus, a frequency of a direct digital synthesizer provided in a local oscillating circuit is controlled in order to reduce a frequency error, based on data of a frequency error detecting circuit. The direct digital synthesizer includes a digital operation circuit for inputting data designating the frequency and outputting an amplitude value of a periodic signal synchronous with a reference clock, and digital-analog converter for converting the amplitude value of the periodic signal to an analog signal.
