A technique for maintaining a center frequency of an input signal at a nominal center frequency. Apparatus which implements this technique divides, using a pair of bandpass filters (122, 124), the modulation bandwidth of the input signal into two halves (half-bands) and measures the signal strength of the input signal in each half-band. Then, circuitry (126, 128, 130), connected to each filter, compares the signal strengths of the signals passing through each filter. The circuitry produces a difference signal representing a difference between the strength of each signal passing through each respective filter. The difference signal is used to adjust a frequency of a local oscillator signal produced by a local oscillator (112) within a tuner (104) such that the center frequency of the input signal is maintained by the tuner at the nominal center frequency.
