A sensitivity level value of an insufficient color component in a pixel of attention is calculated, according to an arithmetic operation corresponding to an acquired color component of the pixel of attention, by assuming a geometric figure including sensitivity level values of acquired color components as vertexes. As the geometric figure, the same figure is used irrespectively of which color component the acquired color component is.

A voltage-controlled oscillator constituting a PLL circuit has a plurality of oscillation modes obtained by dividing a frequency equal to an integer multiple of the frequency of the horizontal sync signal into a plurality of frequency ranges, and oscillates signals in the respective frequency ranges in accordance with control voltages output from a filter.

To provide such overload control functions, the overload controller comprises the following processors. An originating call analysis processor analyzes each originating call to locate the coverage area where the call setup request was initiated. A call-restricted area search processor determines whether to designate the originating coverage area as a call-restricted coverage area which is subject to call restriction.
