PATENTANSPRÜCHEPATENT CLAIMS 1. Digitaler Rundfunkempfänger aufweisend: eine Empfangseinrichtung (3-11), welche ein digitales Rundfunksignal einer OFDM-modulierten Welle in der abgestimmten Rundfunkfrequenz empfangt; eine Herleitungseinrichtung (30-32), welche Träger-Komponenten aus einer Ausgangsgrösse der Empfangseinrichtung herleitet; eine Programminförmations-Demodulationseinrichtung (36-40), welche den Informationsteil (FIC, MSC) der hergeleiteten Trägerkomponenten demoduliert, um ein von einem Benutzer gewünschtes Programm wiederherzustellen; eine Frequenzfehler-Erfassungseinrichtung (33A), welche einen Abstimmungsfrequenzfehler erfasst, und zwar mit Bezug auf eine von einem Steuerteil (PRS) der hergeleiteten Träger-Komponente berechnete Korrelationsfunktion und einen Referenzcode·, eine Frequenzabstimmeinrichtung (35), welche die Abstimmfrequenz in der Empfangseinrichtung justiert, um den erfassten Abstimmfrequenzfehler zu beseitigen; eine NULL-Erfassungseinrichtung, welche ein NULL-Symbol im empfangenen Signal erfasst; eine Steuereinrichtung (37A), welche reagierend auf eine Suchanweisung die Empfangseinrichtung steuert, nacheinander auf jede der Rundfunkfrequenzen des digitalen Rundfunksignals abzustimmen und die Suchoperation zu stoppen, wenn die NULL-Erfassungseinrichtung bei einer der nacheinander abgestimmten Rundfunkfrequenzen das NULL-Symbol empfängt, und dann die Frequenzabstimmeinrichtung so steuert, dass sie die Justierung der Abstimmfrequenz auf die eine der Rundfunkfrequenzen durchführt,
dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass
1. A digital broadcast receiver comprising: receiving means (3-11) which receives a digital broadcast signal of an OFDM modulated wave in the tuned broadcast frequency; deriving means (30-32) which derives carrier components from an output of the receiving means; program information demodulation means (36-40) which demodulates the information part (FIC, MSC) of the derived carrier components to reproduce a program desired by a user; frequency error detecting means (33A) which detects a tuning frequency error with reference to a correlation function calculated by a derived carrier component control part (PRS) and a reference code, frequency tuning means (35) which adjusts the tuning frequency in the receiving means to eliminate the detected tuning frequency error; NULL detecting means which detects a NULL symbol in the received signal; a control device (37A) which, in response to a search instruction, controls the receiving device to tune successively to each of the broadcast frequencies of the digital broadcast signal and to stop the search operation when the ZERO detection device receives the ZERO symbol at one of the successively tuned broadcast frequencies, and then controls the frequency tuning device to perform the adjustment of the tuning frequency to the one of the broadcast frequencies,
characterized in that
DE/EPO S44 194EN/EPO S44 194 -2--2- die Steuereinrichtung reagierend auf die Erfassung des NULL-Symbols weiter den Sendemodus untersucht und die Empfangseinrichtung so steuert, dass sie die Suchoperation stoppt, wenn der untersuchte Übertragungsmodus ein Übertragungsmodus ist, auf den durch das Suchen abgezielt wurde.the control device, responsive to the detection of the NULL symbol, continues to examine the transmission mode and controls the receiving device to stop the search operation if the transmission mode examined is a transmission mode targeted by the search.
2. Digitaler Rundfunkempfänger nach Anspruch 1, bei welchem die NULL-Symbol-Erfassungseinrichtung ein Übertragungsmodussignal erzeugt, welches die NULL-Symbol-Zeitdauer repräsentiert, und das Übertragungsmodussignal an die Steuereinrichtung sendet.2. A digital broadcast receiver according to claim 1, wherein the ZERO symbol detecting means generates a transmission mode signal representing the ZERO symbol time period and sends the transmission mode signal to the control means. 3. Digitaler Rundfunkempfänger nach Anspruch 1 oder 2, bei welchem die Steuereinrichtung weiter beurteilt, ob die durch die Frequenzjustierungseinrichtung bei gestoppter Suchoperation durchgeführte Abstimmfrequenzjustierung nach Verstreichen einer vorbestimmten Zeitdauer innerhalb eines vorbestimmten Abstimmfrequenzfehlers (Af) liegt oder nicht, und die Suchoperation gemäss dieser weiteren Beurteilung steuert.3. Digital broadcast receiver according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the control means further judges whether or not the tuning frequency adjustment carried out by the frequency adjusting means when the search operation is stopped is within a predetermined tuning frequency error (Af) after a lapse of a predetermined period of time, and controls the search operation according to this further judgement. 4. Digitaler Rundfunkempfänger nach Anspruch 1, 2 oder 3, bei welchem die Steuereinrichtung die Frequenzjustiereinrichtung so steuert, dass die von der Frequenzjustiereinrichtung durchgeführte Abstimmfrequenz-Justieroperation während der Suchoperation abgeschaltet wird.4. A digital broadcast receiver according to claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein the control means controls the frequency adjusting means so that the tuning frequency adjusting operation performed by the frequency adjusting means is turned off during the search operation.
