RECEIVER AND RECEIVER CONTROLLING METHOD

In a receiver that demodulates a received signal, deterioration of signal quality is suppressed. A current output unit generates and outputs, from a voltage signal, a current signal including a predetermined offset current in a low-frequency component between a high-frequency component having a frequency higher than a predetermined frequency and the low-frequency component having a frequency lower than the predetermined frequency. A demodulation unit demodulates the high-frequency component. A filter circuit passes, in the current signal, the high-frequency component from a current output unit to the demodulation unit, and causes the low-frequency component to flow from the current output unit to a predetermined reference potential point.
