3. A radio receiver comprising:
one or more antenna to receive radio signals;
a plurality of filters to selectively output signals in respective reception bands from the radio signals received by the antenna, adjacent reception bands partially overlapping each other;
a plurality of down converters disposed correspondingly to the filters to conduct down-conversion from radio frequency to intermediate frequency on signals output from respective ones of the filters;
a plurality of A/D converters disposed correspondingly to the down converters to convert the signals on intermediate frequency output from respective ones of the down converters to digital signals;
a plurality of FFT units disposed correspondingly to the A/D converters to conduct fast Fourier transform on digital signals generated by respective ones of the A/D converters;
extracting units which extract signal components of a boundary radio signal spreading across at least two reception bands adjacent to each other from transformed digital signals associated with the at least two reception bands adjacent to each other;
a combining unit to combine the signal components extracted by the extracting units to restore the boundary radio signal;
an IFFT unit to conduct inverse fast Fourier transform on the boundary radio signal restored by the combining unit; and
a demodulation unit to demodulate the transformed boundary radio signal,
wherein
as regards down converters and FFT units which conduct processing on the at least two reception bands adjacent to each other, a ratio of a down conversion frequency difference between the down converters to a reciprocal of a frame length used in the FFT units is definite.
