[0011]
When an NTSC signal is input, the signal processing is the same as the signal processing described in the conventional example, and the description thereof is omitted here. From the signal input terminal 1, a 6 MHz band obtained by A / D-converting an RF signal that has been AM-modulated with an NTSC signal and digitally modulated with QAM (orthogonal axis amplitude modulation) or the like after A / D conversion is performed. The high-definition television RF signal is input and distributed by the distributor 5, and the RF signal of the high-definition television is input to the VHF band and UHF band (in addition, the VHF band is a low band and a middle band). , And may be divided into high bands.) And the band including the desired channel is selectively passed. The desired channel is appropriately amplified or attenuated by the variable attenuators 7 and 9 and the RF amplifier 8 so as to obtain a desired signal level, and is input to the first mixer 10. In the first mixer 10, feedback is provided by a PLL circuit 32 and a low-pass filter 30 incorporating a reference oscillator and a frequency divider so as to oscillate at a frequency corresponding to a desired channel by a channel selection signal input from the channel selection signal input terminal 2. This is mixed with a local oscillation signal from the formed local oscillator 27, and a first IF signal is output. The first IF signal frequency is set to be equal to or higher than the upper limit frequency of the NTSC television signal terrestrial transmission band or CATV transmission band in order to reduce intermodulation interference of the received signal. Specifically, in consideration of mutual interference interference due to the first local oscillation signal, the second local oscillation signal, and its harmonic signal, the frequency is 1 GHz or higher, 1.2 GHz band, 1.7 GHz band, 2.6 GHz band. , 3 GHz band, etc. The first IF signal set in these frequency bands is selectively passed through the first IF filter 11. Demodulation of high-definition television signals requires demodulation with higher accuracy than NTSC signals. In order not to deteriorate the demodulation characteristics of the high-definition television signal, a band-pass filter having in-band flatness and low group delay deviation is used as the first IF filter. The first IF signal is amplified by the first IF amplifier 12 and then input to the second mixer 13. The second mixer mixes with the local oscillation signal from the second local oscillator 28 and outputs the second IF signal. The second IF signal frequency is the same 45 MHz band as when the current NTSC signal is received. The second IF signal is amplified by the first IF amplifier 14 and then input to the high-definition television signal IF filter 15 constituted by a SAW filter or the like. Only the band of the desired reception channel is passed through the IF filter. When receiving a high-definition television signal, the second IF amplifier 16 amplifies the desired reception channel, inputs it to the high-definition television signal demodulator 33, performs demodulation according to the modulation method, and compresses the data. The high-definition television signal is output from the output terminal 3. The output signal is input to a digital signal processing circuit that performs data expansion, D / A conversion, and the like, and outputs video, audio, or data to a high-definition television. On the other hand, when receiving an NTSC signal, the desired reception channel is amplified by the fourth IF amplifier 25 and input to the NTSC signal AM demodulator 34, where it is AM demodulated, and baseband video and audio signals are output to the output terminal 4. Is output from. When the AGC receives a high-definition television signal, the signal branched from the output of the second IF amplifier 16 is detected by the signal level detector 35, and the AGC voltage is generated by the low-pass filter 36 and the AGC voltage amplifier 37. This is performed by applying to the variable attenuators 7 and 9. When receiving the NTSC signal, the variable attenuators 18 and 20 are used for the shortage inside and inside the AM demodulator 34. The AFC uses the AFC voltages from the high-definition television signal demodulator 33 and the NTSC signal AM demodulator 34 to finely adjust the oscillation frequencies of the second local oscillator 28 and the third local oscillator 26. Do. As will be described later, the case where the high-definition television signal is transmitted on the same channel as the NTSC signal is also considered. In order to avoid interference from the NTSC signal, a video and audio carrier with high energy in the NTSC signal is used. The signal shown in FIG. 7 in which the spectrum of the high-definition television signal is not previously arranged is used in the vicinity of the color subcarrier, and the NTSC signal carrier and subcarrier are removed by the high-definition television signal demodulator 33.
