Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、テレビ受信機の中間周波回路に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来の中間周波回路を図7に示すブロック構成図、及び、図8乃至図10に示す選択度特性図を用いて説明する。先ず、図7において、テレビチュ−ナの混合回路21と局部発振回路22とによって中間周波数に周波数変換されたテレビ信号は、中間周波同調回路23、中間周波増幅回路24、SAWフィルタ25、を順次通過してビディオ検波回路26に入力され、このビディオ検波回路26でビディオ信号が取り出されるようになっている。
【0003】
中間周波同調回路23は、通常、単同調回路で構成されている。そして、図8に示すように、中間周波帯域(図8のIf)をほぼ損失無く通過するように比較的緩慢なな選択度特性を有し、例えば、チュ−ナの局部発振回路22の発振周波数Foにおいては、中間周波帯域IfよりもAdB減衰するようになっている。また、この中間周波帯域を増幅する中間周波増幅回路24は、テレビ信号を後段のビディオ検波回路26の検波動作に必要なレベルまで適宜増幅するとともに直接SAWフィルタ25に入力している。そして、通常、この中間周波同調回路23、中間周波増幅回路24は、混合回路21等とともにテレビチュ−ナとして独立したシ−ルドケ−スに収納されているが、中間周波同調回路23、中間周波増幅回路24は、SAWフィルタ25とともに中間周波回路を構成している。なお、テレビチュ−ナ内の中間周波増幅回路24の増幅度のみではテレビ信号のレベルが不足してビディオ検波回路の動作に支障を来す場合にはテレビ受信機内に別個の中間周波増幅回路を設けて中間周波回路全体としての増幅度を得るようにすることもある。
【0004】
SAWフィルタ25は、通常、平衡型のものが使用され、隣接チャンネルからの妨害を排除するために、図9に示すように、中間周波帯域Ifを外れたところでは急峻な減衰特性を有しているが、この中間周波帯域から遠く外れた周波数ではほぼ30dB程度の一定の減衰量Bとなっている。従って、SAWフィルタ25の出力端、即ち、ビディオ検波回路26の入力端での選択度特性は、図10に示すように、図8に示す中間周波同調回路23の選択度特性と図9に示すSAWフィルタ25の選択度特性とを合わせた特性となり、中間周波帯域と局部発振周波数Foとにおけるレベル差はほぼA+Bとなる。
【0005】
一方、ビディオ検波回路26は、電圧制御発振回路と位相比較回路とを有した同期検波方式が用いられており、そのために、中間周波増幅回路24等によってテレビ信号を検波動作に必要なレベルまで増幅している。
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記の従来の中間周波回路では、テレビチュ−ナ内の中間周波増幅回路24からの出力が直接SAWフィルタ25に入力されようになっている。その結果、ビディオ検波回路26には中間周波帯域のテレビ信号が所定のレベルで入力されるとともに、チュ−ナの局部発振回路22からの局部発振信号が、比較的大きなレベルでビディオ検波回路26に入力されることになる。
【0007】
即ち、局部発振回路22からの局部発振信号はテレビ信号よりもかなり大きく、しかも、この局部発振信号のビディオ検波回路26への入力レベルを制限するのは中間周波同調回路23とSAWフィルタ25のみで決まる減衰量(図10のA+B)であることから、局部発振信号は無視出来ないレベルでビディオ検波回路26へ入力される。
【0008】
その結果、ビディオ検波回路26ではテレビ信号とこのビディオ検波回路26内の電圧制御発振回路の発振信号とテレビチュ−ナの局部発振信号とが複雑に混合されることになり、このビディオ検波回路26内で不要な妨害信号を生成することになり、テレビ受信機の映像品質を悪化させることになる。また、局部発振信号のレベルが大きいことから検波回路26内で相互変調波が発生し同様にテレビ受信機の映像を悪化させることになる。
【0009】
また、ビディオ検波回路26が正常に機能するためには所定のレベルの中間周波信号を必要とし、そのため、チュ−ナの中間周波増幅回路24ではレベルの高い信号を出力出来るように増幅度を高くするとともに中間周波増幅回路24を構成する増幅用のトランジスタを大振幅で動作させる必要があり、この結果、中間周波増幅回路24でも相互変調による歪みが発生し、これが同様にテレビ受信機の映像品質を劣化させるという問題が発生していた。
【0010】
そこで、本発明は中間周波増幅回路での歪みの発生を少なくし、またビディオ検波回路での妨害信号の発生を押さえ、テレビ受信機の映像品質を高めることができる中間周波回路を実現することを目的とする。
【0011】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記の課題を解決するため、本発明の中間周波回路は、混合回路と局部発振回路とによって中間周波数に周波数変換されたテレビ信号を増幅する中間周波増幅回路と、入力容量を有して、前記テレビ信号を所定の選択度特性で伝送するSAWフィルタとを備え、前記中間周波増幅回路と前記SAWフィルタとの間にインダクタを直列接続し、前記インダクタと前記SAWフィルタの前記入力容量とでロ−パスフィルタを構成し、前記ロ−パスフィルタのカットオフ周波数を前記中間周波数の帯域よりも高く、前記局部発振回路の発振周波数よりも低く設定した。
【0012】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に、本発明の実施の形態を図1乃至図6を用いて説明する。ここで、図1は本発明の中間周波回路のブロック構成図を示し、図2乃至図6は本発明の中間周波回路の選択度特性を示す
【0013】
先ず、図1において、テレビチュ−ナの混合回路1と局部発振回路2とによって中間周波数に周波数変換されたテレビ信号は、中間周波同調回路3、中間周波増幅回路4を経て、SAWフィルタ5に入力される。ここで、SAWフィルタ5は、中間周波増幅回路4の出力インピ−ダンスが低いために、比較的低インピ−ダンスで入力容量を有するものが使用されている。そして、中間周波増幅回路4とSAWフィルタ5とはコイル等のインダクタ6で直列に接続されている。この結果、中間周波増幅回路4とSAWフィルタ5との間には、インダクタ6とSAWフィルタ5の入力容量7とによって構成されるロ−パスフィルタ8が接続されることになる。SAWフィルタ5の出力はビディオ検波回路9に入力され、このビディオ検波回路9でビディオ信号が取り出されるようになっている
【0014】
ここで、中間周波同調回路3、中間周波増幅回路4、SAWフィルタ5は、それぞれ、従来の中間周波同調回路23、中間周波増幅回路24、SAWフィルタ25と同じ構成のものが使用されている。従って、中間周波同調回路3の選択度特性は、図2に示すように、中間周波帯域(図2のIF)をほぼ損失無く通過するように比較的緩慢なな選択度特性を有し、例えば、チュ−ナの局部発振回路2の発振周波数Foにおいては中間周波帯域IfよりもAdB減衰するようになっている。これは、図8に示した従来の中間周波同調回路23の選択度特性と同じである
【0015】
また、この中間周波帯域を増幅する中間周波増幅回路4は、テレビ信号を後段のビディオ検波回路9の検波動作に必要なレベルまで適宜増幅する。そして、通常、この中間周波増幅回路4までは混合回路1等とともにテレビチュ−ナとして独立したシ−ルドケ−スに収納されているが、中間周波同調回路3、中間周波増幅回路4は、SAWフィルタ5とともに中間周波回路を構成している。なお、テレビチュ−ナ内の中間周波増幅回路4の増幅度のみではテレビ信号のレベルが不足してビディオ検波回路9の動作支障を来す場合にはテレビ受信機内に別個の中間周波増幅回路を設けて中間周波回路全体としての増幅度を得るようにすることもある。一方、ビディオ検波回路9は、図示しない電圧制御発振回路と位相比較回路とを有した同期検波方式が用いられており、そのために、中間周波増幅回路4等によってテレビ信号を検波動作に必要なレベルまで増幅している
【0016】
そして、中間周波増幅回路4とSAWフィルタ5との間に構成されたロ−パスフィルタ8は、そのカットオフ周波数が中間周波帯域よりも高く、また、チュ−ナの局部発振回路2の発振周波数よりも低く設定されており、図3に示すように、中間周波帯域と局部発振周波数とのレベル差がCとなるような選択度特性を有している
【0017】
SAWフィルタ5は、通常、平衡型のものが使用され、隣接チャンネルからの妨害を排除するために、図4に示すように、中間周波帯域(図4のIf)を外れたところでは急峻な減衰特性を有しているが、この中間周波帯域から遠く外れた周波数ではほぼ30dB程度の一定の減衰量Bとなっている。この選択度特性は、図10に示した従来のSAWフィルタ25の選択度特性と同じである。従って、SAWフィルタ5の出力端、即ち、ビディオ検波回路9の入力端での選択度特性は、図5に示すように、図2に示す中間周波同調回路3の選択度特性と図3に示すロ−パスフィルタ8の選択度特性と図4に示すSAWフィルタ5の選択度特性とを合わせた特性となり、中間周波帯域と局部発振周波数Foとにおけるレベル差はほぼA+B+Cとなる
【0018】
従って、ビディオ検波回路9へ入力される局部発振回路2からの局部発振信号のレベルは従来よりも図3に示すCdb下がることになり、ビディオ検波回路6で発生する妨害信号のレベルが小さくなる。なお、SAWフィルタ5の入力容量が無視できる程度に極めて小さい場合であっても、インダクタ6のみによっても中間周波帯域よりも高い周波数を減衰させることが出来るので、同様に、ビディオ検波回路9に入力される局部発振回路2からの発振信号を少なくすることができる
【0019】
なお、中間周波増幅回路4の出力インピ−ダンスとSAWフィルタ5の入力インピ−ダンスが整合していない場合は、中間周波増幅回路4とSAWフィルタ5との間のロ−パスフィルタ8は、図3に示すような、いわゆる定K型フィルタの特性を示さず、図6のような特性となる。即ち、図2に示すような一般の同調回路が示す選択度特性と図3に示す定K型の選択度特性との中間の選択度特性となる。従って、ロ−パスフィルタ8のインダクタ6とSAWフィルタ5の入力容量7とによる共振周波数を中間周波帯域に設定すれば、この中間周波帯域では同調回路としての特性が現れることになり、SAWフィルタ5の入力容量の両端の共振電圧が大きくなって、SAWフィルタ5の入力端に印加される中間周 波帯域の信号レベルが高くなることになる
【0020】
そのため、ビディオ検波回路9に入力されるテレビ信号のレベルも大きくなる。従って、ビディオ検波回路9の動作に必要な信号レベルを維持できる程度まで中間周波増幅回路4の出力レベルを下げることができ、中間周波増幅回路4は歪みの少ない小振幅動作が可能となり、例えば、中間周波増幅回路4から発生する相互変調歪みを少なくすることができる。なお、この場合でも、チュ−ナの局部発振回路2の発振周波数においては図6に示すようにDdbの減衰があるので、この特性が、図2及び図4にそれぞれ示す中間周波同調回路3及びSAWフィルタ5の選択度特性に加わることによって局部発振回路の発振周波数においては大きな減衰となり、ビディオ検波回路9での妨害信号のレベルを小さくすることができる
【0021】
【発明の効果】
以上のように、本発明の中間周波回路は、インダクタとSAWフィルタの入力容量とでロ−パスフィルタを構成し、このロ−パスフィルタのカットオフ周波数を中間周波数の帯域よりも高く、局部発振回路の発振周波数よりも低く設定したので、中間周波数の帯域ではテレビ信号を減衰させることなく、中間周波増幅回路を漏れて出力される局部発振器の発振信号のレベルを大きく減衰させることが可能となる

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an intermediate frequency circuit of a television receiver.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A conventional intermediate frequency circuit will be described with reference to a block diagram shown in FIG. 7 and selectivity characteristic diagrams shown in FIGS. First, in FIG. 7, a television signal whose frequency has been converted to an intermediate frequency by a mixing circuit 21 and a local oscillation circuit 22 of a television tuner passes through an intermediate frequency tuning circuit 23, an intermediate frequency amplifying circuit 24 and a SAW filter 25 in order. The video signal passes through and is input to the video detection circuit 26, and the video detection circuit 26 extracts a video signal.
[0003]
The intermediate frequency tuning circuit 23 is usually constituted by a single tuning circuit. As shown in FIG. 8, it has a relatively slow selectivity characteristic so as to pass through the intermediate frequency band (If in FIG. 8) with almost no loss. At the frequency Fo, the frequency is attenuated by AdB more than the intermediate frequency band If. The intermediate frequency amplifier circuit 24 amplifies the intermediate frequency band, appropriately amplifies the television signal to a level necessary for the detection operation of the video detection circuit 26 at the subsequent stage, and inputs the television signal directly to the SAW filter 25. Usually, the intermediate frequency tuning circuit 23 and the intermediate frequency amplifying circuit 24 are housed in an independent shield case as a TV tuner together with the mixing circuit 21 and the like. The amplification circuit 24 forms an intermediate frequency circuit together with the SAW filter 25. In the case where the level of the television signal is insufficient due to the amplification degree of the intermediate frequency amplifier circuit 24 in the television tuner and the operation of the video detection circuit is hindered, a separate intermediate frequency amplifier circuit is provided in the television receiver. It may be provided to obtain the degree of amplification of the entire intermediate frequency circuit.
[0004]
The SAW filter 25 is usually of a balanced type, and has a steep attenuation characteristic outside the intermediate frequency band If as shown in FIG. 9 in order to eliminate interference from an adjacent channel. However, at frequencies far away from the intermediate frequency band, the constant attenuation B is about 30 dB. Therefore, the selectivity characteristics at the output terminal of the SAW filter 25, that is, at the input terminal of the video detection circuit 26, are as shown in FIG. 10, as shown in FIG. 10, and the selectivity characteristics of the intermediate frequency tuning circuit 23 shown in FIG. The characteristics are obtained by combining the selectivity characteristics of the SAW filter 25, and the level difference between the intermediate frequency band and the local oscillation frequency Fo is approximately A + B.
[0005]
On the other hand, the video detection circuit 26 uses a synchronous detection method having a voltage-controlled oscillation circuit and a phase comparison circuit. For this reason, the television signal is amplified to a level necessary for the detection operation by the intermediate frequency amplification circuit 24 and the like. are doing.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the above-described conventional intermediate frequency circuit, the output from the intermediate frequency amplifier circuit 24 in the television tuner is directly input to the SAW filter 25. As a result, the television signal in the intermediate frequency band is input to the video detection circuit 26 at a predetermined level, and the local oscillation signal from the local oscillation circuit 22 of the tuner is input to the video detection circuit 26 at a relatively large level. Will be entered.
[0007]
That is, the local oscillation signal from the local oscillation circuit 22 is much larger than the television signal, and the input level of the local oscillation signal to the video detection circuit 26 is limited only by the intermediate frequency tuning circuit 23 and the SAW filter 25. Since the amount of attenuation is determined (A + B in FIG. 10), the local oscillation signal is input to the video detection circuit 26 at a level that cannot be ignored.
[0008]
As a result, in the video detection circuit 26, the television signal, the oscillation signal of the voltage-controlled oscillation circuit in the video detection circuit 26, and the local oscillation signal of the television tuner are mixed in a complicated manner. Unnecessary interfering signals are generated in the television receiver, thereby deteriorating the image quality of the television receiver. In addition, since the level of the local oscillation signal is large, an intermodulation wave is generated in the detection circuit 26, and similarly, the image of the television receiver is deteriorated.
[0009]
In addition, the video detection circuit 26 requires an intermediate frequency signal of a predetermined level in order to function properly. Therefore, the intermediate frequency amplification circuit 24 of the tuner increases the amplification so that a high level signal can be output. At the same time, it is necessary to operate the amplifying transistor constituting the intermediate frequency amplifier circuit 24 with a large amplitude. As a result, distortion due to intermodulation occurs in the intermediate frequency amplifier circuit 24, which also causes the image quality of the television receiver to increase. Has a problem of deteriorating.
[0010]
Therefore, the present invention provides an intermediate frequency circuit capable of reducing the generation of distortion in the intermediate frequency amplifier circuit, suppressing the generation of interference signals in the video detection circuit, and improving the image quality of the television receiver. Aim.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above problems, an intermediate frequency circuit of the present invention has an intermediate frequency amplifier circuit that amplifies a television signal frequency-converted to an intermediate frequency by a mixing circuit and a local oscillator circuit, and an input capacitor, A SAW filter for transmitting a television signal with a predetermined selectivity characteristic, an inductor being connected in series between the intermediate frequency amplifier circuit and the SAW filter, and a low impedance connected between the inductor and the input capacitance of the SAW filter. A cut-off frequency of the low-pass filter was set higher than the intermediate frequency band and lower than the oscillation frequency of the local oscillation circuit.
[0012]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. Here, FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of the intermediate frequency circuit of the present invention, and FIGS. 2 to 6 show selectivity characteristics of the intermediate frequency circuit of the present invention .
[0013]
First, in FIG. 1, a television signal whose frequency has been converted to an intermediate frequency by a mixing circuit 1 and a local oscillation circuit 2 of a television tuner passes through an intermediate frequency tuning circuit 3 and an intermediate frequency amplifying circuit 4 to a SAW filter 5. Is entered. Here, since the output impedance of the intermediate frequency amplifying circuit 4 is low, a SAW filter 5 having a relatively low impedance and an input capacitance is used. The intermediate frequency amplifier circuit 4 and the SAW filter 5 are connected in series by an inductor 6 such as a coil. As a result, a low-pass filter 8 composed of an inductor 6 and an input capacitor 7 of the SAW filter 5 is connected between the intermediate frequency amplifier circuit 4 and the SAW filter 5. The output of the SAW filter 5 is input to a video detection circuit 9, and a video signal is extracted by the video detection circuit 9 .
[0014]
Here, the intermediate frequency tuning circuit 3, the intermediate frequency amplifier circuit 4, and the SAW filter 5 have the same configurations as the conventional intermediate frequency tuning circuit 23, intermediate frequency amplifier circuit 24, and SAW filter 25, respectively. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the selectivity characteristic of the intermediate frequency tuning circuit 3 has a relatively slow selectivity characteristic so as to pass through the intermediate frequency band (IF in FIG. 2) almost without loss. The oscillation frequency Fo of the local oscillation circuit 2 of the tuner is attenuated by AdB more than the intermediate frequency band If. This is the same as the selectivity characteristic of the conventional intermediate frequency tuning circuit 23 shown in FIG .
[0015]
The intermediate frequency amplifying circuit 4 for amplifying the intermediate frequency band appropriately amplifies the television signal to a level necessary for the detection operation of the video detection circuit 9 at the subsequent stage. Normally, the intermediate frequency amplifying circuit 4 and the mixing circuit 1 are housed in an independent shield case as a television tuner, but the intermediate frequency tuning circuit 3 and the intermediate frequency amplifying circuit 4 An intermediate frequency circuit is formed together with the filter 5. In the case where the level of the television signal is insufficient due to only the amplification degree of the intermediate frequency amplifier circuit 4 in the television tuner and the operation of the video detection circuit 9 is hindered, a separate intermediate frequency amplifier circuit is provided in the television receiver. It may be provided to obtain the degree of amplification of the entire intermediate frequency circuit. On the other hand, the video detection circuit 9 employs a synchronous detection method having a voltage-controlled oscillation circuit and a phase comparison circuit (not shown). For this reason, the intermediate frequency amplification circuit 4 or the like converts a television signal to a level necessary for a detection operation. Has been amplified .
[0016]
The low-pass filter 8 formed between the intermediate frequency amplifier circuit 4 and the SAW filter 5 has a cut-off frequency higher than the intermediate frequency band, and the oscillation frequency of the local oscillation circuit 2 of the tuner. As shown in FIG. 3, the selectivity characteristic is such that the level difference between the intermediate frequency band and the local oscillation frequency is C.
[0017]
The SAW filter 5 is generally of a balanced type, and has a steep attenuation outside the intermediate frequency band (If in FIG. 4) as shown in FIG. 4 in order to eliminate interference from an adjacent channel. Although it has characteristics, it has a constant attenuation B of about 30 dB at a frequency far from the intermediate frequency band. This selectivity characteristic is the same as the selectivity characteristic of the conventional SAW filter 25 shown in FIG. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 5, the selectivity characteristic at the output terminal of the SAW filter 5, that is, the input terminal of the video detection circuit 9, is the selectivity characteristic of the intermediate frequency tuning circuit 3 shown in FIG. The selectivity characteristic of the low-pass filter 8 and the selectivity characteristic of the SAW filter 5 shown in FIG. 4 are combined, and the level difference between the intermediate frequency band and the local oscillation frequency Fo is approximately A + B + C.
[0018]
Accordingly, the level of the local oscillation signal from the local oscillation circuit 2 input to the video detection circuit 9 is lower than that of the related art by Cdb shown in FIG. Even when the input capacitance of the SAW filter 5 is extremely small to a negligible level, the frequency higher than the intermediate frequency band can be attenuated only by the inductor 6. Oscillation signals from the local oscillation circuit 2 can be reduced .
[0019]
If the output impedance of the intermediate frequency amplifying circuit 4 and the input impedance of the SAW filter 5 do not match, the low-pass filter 8 between the intermediate frequency amplifying circuit 4 and the SAW filter 5 is 3 does not show the characteristics of a so-called constant K-type filter, but has the characteristics shown in FIG. That is, the selectivity characteristic is intermediate between the selectivity characteristic of the general tuning circuit shown in FIG. 2 and the selectivity characteristic of the constant K type shown in FIG. Therefore, if the resonance frequency due to the inductor 6 of the low-pass filter 8 and the input capacitance 7 of the SAW filter 5 is set in the intermediate frequency band, a characteristic as a tuning circuit appears in this intermediate frequency band. the resonant voltage across increases the input capacitance, so that the signal level of the intermediate-frequency band to be applied to the input terminal of the SAW filter 5 is increased.
[0020]
Therefore, the level of the television signal input to the video detection circuit 9 also increases. Therefore, the output level of the intermediate frequency amplifying circuit 4 can be reduced to such an extent that the signal level required for the operation of the video detection circuit 9 can be maintained, and the intermediate frequency amplifying circuit 4 can perform small amplitude operation with little distortion. Intermodulation distortion generated from the intermediate frequency amplifier circuit 4 can be reduced. Also in this case, since the oscillation frequency of the local oscillation circuit 2 of the tuner has an attenuation of Ddb as shown in FIG. 6, this characteristic is changed to the intermediate frequency tuning circuit 3 and FIG. By adding to the selectivity characteristics of the SAW filter 5, the oscillation frequency of the local oscillation circuit is greatly attenuated, and the level of the interference signal in the video detection circuit 9 can be reduced .
[0021]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, in the intermediate frequency circuit of the present invention, a low-pass filter is formed by the inductor and the input capacitance of the SAW filter, and the cut-off frequency of the low-pass filter is higher than the band of the intermediate frequency. Since it is set lower than the oscillation frequency of the circuit, it is possible to greatly attenuate the level of the oscillation signal of the local oscillator that is output by leaking through the intermediate frequency amplification circuit without attenuating the television signal in the intermediate frequency band. .
