A single circuit-configured tuner capable of selectively switching between two operating modes. A radio frequency-quadrature-modulated by a base-band digital signal-is captured into a single input terminal and then split into two signals. Each signal is fed into a mixer at each branch circuit block. Each mixer receives an oscillating frequency of a local oscillator. At this time, the oscillating frequency determines the operating mode. More specifically, in the first operating mode, as the oscillating frequency is determined to be equal to the rf signal, the rf signal undergoes quadrature detection, resulting that the original base-band digital signal is obtained at an output terminal coupled to each mixer, that is, the tuner works as an I/Q detection tuner. On the other hand, in the second operating mode, as the oscillating frequency is determined so that the difference between the oscillating frequency and the frequency of the rf signal is to be equal to an IF, the tuner works as an IF tuner. In the latter case, one of the IF signals obtained from the two mixers is given a 90° phase-shift and added in phase with the other signal, and is fed into a single output terminal.
