Abstract

A frequency modulator capable of performing frequency modulation without increasing quantization noise; and a method for adjusting the gain thereof are provided. An input signal is gain-adjusted by a gain adjustment section and outputted to a frequency modulation section. The frequency modulation section is gain-controlled based on a first signal. For setting a digital gain coefficient and an analog gain coefficient of the gain adjustment section, a test signal is inputted. In this state, in a generation section, first control information for setting the digital gain coefficient and second control information for setting the analog gain coefficient are generated based on information regarding a state of the frequency modulation section.
