Mobile communication apparatus

A transceiver suitable for larger scale of integration employs direct conversion reception for reducing the number of filters. Also, the number of VCOs is reduced by utilizing dividers (105, 115, 116, 119, 120, 141) to supply a receiver and a transmitter with locally oscillated signals at an RF band. Dividers (105, 115, 116) each having a fixed division ratio are used for generating locally oscillated signals for the receiver, while a divider (119, 120, 141) having a switchable division ratio are used for generating the locally oscillated signal for the transmitter. In addition, a variable gain amplifier (108) for baseband signal is provided with a DC offset voltage detector and a DC offset canceling circuit (110) for supporting high speed data communications to accomplish fast cancellation of a DC offset by eliminating intervention of a filter within a feedback loop for offset cancellation.
