To provide a reception circuit that prevents deterioration in the reception sensitivity by means of the impedance matching of a received signal in a portable radio equipment.

This reception circuit for a portable radio equipment is provided with a variable capacitor 43 that changes an input impedance of a high frequency amplifier 11 for amplifying a received signal, a D/A converter 4 that gives a voltage to the variable capacitor 43, and a control circuit 3 that controls an output of the D/A converter 4, and the deterioration it the reception sensitivity due to a change in a received frequency is improved by correcting the input impedance of the high frequency amplifier 11 based on a channel quality signal.
