Incidentally, it is desired that interference detection be performed at a higher received input level. However, in order to perform interference detection up to a higher reception input level, it is necessary to prevent the high frequency amplifier 2, first mixer 4, and second mixer 7 from becoming saturated even at a higher reception input level. The first mixer 4 and the second mixer 7 each have an appropriate gain, and among them, the second mixer 7 saturates first at the lowest received input level.
