A front-end circuit according to the present invention includes a VCO which oscillates a local signal, a mixer which converts an RF signal Frf into a baseband signal, a DC offset cancel circuit which detects a DC offset contained in the baseband signal and then eliminates the DC offset, and a local frequency control circuit which controls a frequency of the local signal. In a case where the RF signal is an analog television signal, the local frequency control circuit controls the frequency of the local signal so that a frequency of the baseband signal differs from each frequency spectrum of a luminance signal contained in a video signal which is generated by demodulating the baseband signal. This makes it possible to provide the front-end circuit which can prevent video distortion caused when a frequency spectrum is eliminated from the luminance signal. |
