A high-frequency receiver and a portable device using the same receiver are proposed for reducing power consumption. Image interference determiner (44) determines whether or not image interference exists at the present position in a desirable channel to be received, which channel is obtained by a receiving section (39) or a GPS receiver (43). Power supply control circuit (47) switches mixer (49) from an image rejection mixer to a double balance mixer when determiner (44) determines no image interference involves. This mechanism allows mixer (49) to work as the double balance mixer circuit during the reception of channels free from image interference, so that a mixer consuming less power is achievable. When mixer (49) works as the image rejection mixer circuit, image interference can be reduced.
