A digital radio-relay system has a transmitting terminal station, at least one repeater station a receiving terminal station, a non-regenerative repeater station which does not regenerate a digital signal in order to simplify and reduce cost of the system, while keeping excellent signal quality in transmission. Each repeater station has a plurality of sub-units relating to respective sub-system signals each having a plurality of carriers so that the frequency spectrum of each sub-system signal is allocated on a frequency axis based upon a frequency division multiplex system. A repeater station having a first frequency converter to convert a received radio frequency to IF frequency, bandpass filters for deriving one of the carriers in each sub-system signal, amplifiers to amplify the derived carrier on IF band stage, and a second frequency converter to convert the IF frequency to radio frequency, has a common reference oscillator which generates a reference frequency which is a common divisor of all the local frequencies for all the radio frequencies of all the sub-system signals. Only one of an upper and lower heterodyne signals is taken in all the frequency conversions, so that distortion in each relay section is added in-phase. Leaked noise caused by the bandpass filters is added to original carrier in-phase. All the distortion thus added in the relay sections can be compensated by a transversal equalizer in the receiving terminal station. Therefore, excellent signal quality is obtained although a simple non-regenerative repeater station is used.
