Abstract

A radio communication apparatus using a direct conversion method capable of receiving a radio signal having a predetermined frequency band. The radio communication apparatus includes: a low-noise amplifier section including one or a plurality of low-noise amplifiers receiving input of a receiving signal having a predetermined frequency band; and a mixer section including in-phase and quadrature mixers demodulating an output of the low-noise amplifier into in-phase-component and quadrature-component signals, respectively, wherein the mixer section includes a capacitor in an input section, separates the in-phase component and the quadrature component by the capacitor, and supplies the components to the corresponding in-phase and quadrature mixers, respectively.
