A receiver of a wireless base station that uses a simple mode to detect a failure is provided, and an SW 201 switches whether an input port of the receiver 133 is to be connected with an antenna 114 or to be terminated. An LNA (a low noise amplifier) 205 amplifies an input signal with a low distortion. SWs 202 and 203 switch between a first path which runs through the LNA 205 and a second path 204 which does not run through the LNA 205. An AGC AMP, the gain of which is controlled such that the output thereof is constant, amplifies the signal with the controlled gain. A base station control section uses the SW 201 to terminate the input port of the receiver so that thermal noise is input to the LNA 205. Further, the SWs 202 and 203 are changed over to determine the normality of the receiver based on the fact that a first gain of an AGC-AMP 211 when connected to the first path, a second gain of the AGC-AMP 211 when connected to the second path, and a difference between the first and second gains fall within their respective predetermined ranges. |
