A heterodyne receiving circuit for a digital communication system including a first band pass filter receiving a signal from an antenna, an amplifying circuit and a second narrow band pass filter for selecting one particular channel within a band of frequencies. The two filters are carried out with integrated BAW-type tunable resonators which can be adjusted, respectively, by a first electrical signal and a second electrical signal generated by two PLL-type frequency control loops. The second frequency control loop has a variable division factor for the purpose of selecting one particular channel within said band of frequencies. In addition, the receiving circuit includes a mixer for mixing the signal generated at the output of said second filter with a local oscillation frequency in order to produce an intermediate frequency. The division factor is controlled by a digital processing of the intermediate frequency.
