Abstract

1,147,507. Tuners. STANDARD KOLLSMAN INDUSTRIES Inc. 21 Nov., 1967 [27 Sept., 1967], No. 53001/67. Heading H3Q. A tuner has at least one stage with an inductor tuned by a varicap diode, and a voltagecontrolled switching diode for connecting a second inductor in parallel with the first. Fig. 1 shows the tuner section of a television receiver capable of receiving two V.H.F. bands. Tuning is effected by potentiometer 127 which controls the voltage on varicap diodes 14, 37, 39 and 68. Waveband switching is performed by switch 122 (which may be ganged with the tuning control and detent operated) which makes diodes 45, 42, 44 and 73 conductive or non-conductive. The aerial input at 10-1 is applied to the R.F. amplifier transistor 24 through a band-pass circuit. The inductors 12, 21 which tune with the varicap diode 14 are shunted by a further inductor 17 when diode 45 is made conductive for the higher-frequency band. The R.F. amplifier 24 is coupled to the mixer 51 through another band-pass circuit which comprises a tuned circuit (inductor 32 and varicap diode 37) coupled to a second tuned circuit (inductor 34 and varicap diode 39) by means of a common inductive impedance 31. For the higherfrequency band diodes 42 and 44 are made conductive to put tuning inductors 46 and 47 and common-impedance inductors 48 and 49 in parallel with the low-frequency circuit. The output is fed to the mixer 51 via the coupled winding 35. The local oscillator 62 is tuned by varicap diode 68 and series inductors 70 and 71, the latter being shorted by diode 73 for the higher-frequency band. A parallel arrangement of switched inductors may however be used as for the R.F. stages. For U.H.F. reception a separate U.H.F. tuner (Fig. 5, not shown) converts these signals to the I.F., amplifies them and feeds them through a capacitor (206) to transistor 51 which then acts as an I.F. amplifier. In the U.H.F. position of the selector switch (210 in Fig. 5, not shown) power is applied to the U.H.F. tuner and disconnected from the V.H.F. tuner and local oscillator. In the V.H.F. position these power connections are reversed and a further diode (211) made conductive to short the output from the U.H.F. tuner.
