Summary:A semiconductor device includes a controlled oscillator and a control unit. The controlled oscillator includes a resonance circuit, an amplification unit, and a current adjustment unit. The resonance circuit includes one or a plurality of inductors and a first capacitive unit having a variable capacitance value. The amplification unit is connected to the resonance circuit, and outputs a local oscillation signal having an oscillation frequency corresponding to a resonance frequency of the resonance circuit. The current adjustment unit adjusts a value of a drive current to be supplied to the amplification unit. The control unit controls the capacitance value of the first capacitive unit and the current adjustment unit. When the control unit instructs the current adjustment unit to change the value of the drive current to be supplied to the amplification unit, the control unit also changes the capacitance value of the first capacitive unit.
