Description
- The present application is a divisional application of U.S. application Ser. No. 14/074,726, filed Nov. 8, 2013 which claims priority to Taiwanese Application Serial Number TW102129681, filed Aug. 19, 2013. The entire disclosures of all the above applications are hereby incorporated by reference herein.
- 1. Technical Field
- The present disclosure relates to a tuner; more particularly, a modular tuner and a method for manufacturing the same.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Tuners include the FM/AM tuner comprised in certain main stations and television tuners. A television tuner (also known as high frequency tuner) is an important component in the receiving terminal end of a television. Common television tuners complete the process of receiving, amplifying, strobing, frequency conversion and demodulation in an analog way; if any distortion or loss of fidelity occurs during said process, the quality of the received image and accompanying sound would be degraded.
- Referring to
FIG. 1 ; while assembling the tuner, theadaptor 120 is inserted into theiron casing 110 and then theriveting part 122 is planished to clasp theiron casing 110. However, due to the fault tolerance of the mold used in the planishing, the process cannot effectively force theiron casing 110 to interfere with theriveting part 122; accordingly, there are gaps between theadaptor 120 and theiron casing 110, and between theiron casing 110 and theriveting part 122, as illustrated inFIG. 2 . When the tuner is under a high frequency, a potential difference exists between the two parallel polar plates, and hence the parasitic capacitance is generated in the gaps, which will cause problems associated with excessive contact resistance, and accordingly, the tuner may not be in compliance with the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulations. - On the other hand, the
iron casing 110 andadaptor 120 of the tuner are connected via riveting connection, which renders the unpacking of the tuner quite difficult. Also, in the case where the adaptor type of the tuner shall be altered, it is requisite to build a new mold, thereby increasing the manufacturing cost. - The above-mentioned parasitic capacitance is calculated according to the following equation:
-
Xc=1/(2πfεA), C=(εA)/d, - where Xc is the capacitive reactance (Ohmic, Ω), C is the parasitic capacitance (Farad, F), f is the frequency (Hertz, Hz), ε=dielectric constant of air (Farad/meter, F/m), A is the cross-over area of the adaptor and the casing (meter-square, m2), and d is the distance between the adaptor and the casing (meter, m).
- The presence of the parasitic capacitance will result in the potential difference VAB, and the potential difference is calculated according to the following equation:
-
V AB =W AB Q=(W A −W B)/Q, - where VAB is the potential difference (Volt, V), WAB is the energy (Joule, J), and Q is the electric quantity (Coulomb, C).
- The potential difference further results in an electric field which in turn cause the generation of an electromagnetic wave, and the electric field intensity is calculated according to the following equation:
-
E=V/d, - where E is the electric field intensity (Volt/meter, V/m), V=is the potential difference (Volt, V), and d is the distance (meter, m).
- To eliminate said electromagnetic wave, it is required to eliminate the potential difference between the
adaptor 120 and theiron casing 110 of the tuner. In view of the foregoing, there exist problems and disadvantages in the existing products that await further improvement. However, those skilled in the art sought vainly for a solution. In order to solve or circumvent above problems and disadvantages, there is an urgent need in the related field to address the above-mentioned problems and disadvantages so as to improve the EMC. - The following presents a simplified summary of the disclosure in order to provide a basic understanding to the reader.
