A radio receiver, and a method therefore, for efficiently suppressing attenuation properties of a low frequency signal, in an analog frequency modulation type radio communication system. The radio receiver includes a first down-converter for mixing a modulated, high-frequency signal received by the radio receiver and a predetermined local oscillating signal to generate an intermediate frequency signal. A modulator modulates the predetermined local oscillating signal by an aural signal transmitted from the transmitter and generates a mixing signal for down-mixing the electrical signal representative of modulated, high-frequency signal. The mixed signal is then applied to the first down-converter. A second down-converter down-converts, in frequency, the intermediate frequency signal generated from the first down-converter into a baseband signal to generate the down-converted signal. A demodulator demodulates the down-converted baseband signal to a demodulated signal representative of the modulated, high-frequency signal received by the radio receiver.
