To provide the receiver that improves a transmission capacity by reducing inter-code interference given by a frequency switching noise onto demodulated data and reducing number of guard bits.

A timing correction circuit 11 measures in advance a circuit delay time of a high frequency tracking filter in a high frequency amplifier circuit 2, an intermediate frequency filter 5 and a base band filter 8, generates a frequency switching timing signal 11 to be corrected so as to increase the switching timing by the measured delay time and selects the high frequency circuit 2 and the local signal generating circuit 3. Since the inter-code interference due to frequency switching noise is contained within one symbol caused in an output demodulation waveform of a demodulation circuit 7 is contained within one symbol from a switching point, the guard bit length is reduced and the transmission capacity is improved.
