A highly integrated terrestrial and cable tuner for receiving digital and analog television signals is disclosed. It achieves high performances in sensitivity, image rejection, dynamic range, channel selectivity and power consumption. A major-images rejection converter disclosed rejects third- and fifth-order images. Thus it significantly relaxes RF filter design in a tuner of a single-stage or a first-stage zero-IF/low-IF downconversion architecture. Different architectures and frequency planning are disclosed in accordance with specifications of TV standards to improve the overall performance of the tuner with a different or configurable IF output. The tuner is integrated by using standard processes, with minimal off-chip components excluding SAW and LC filters. Small tuner modules cost less than discrete (can) tuners. They can be used in digital/analog TV sets and portable and handheld TV devices and for mobile-phone TV reception.
