TERRESTRIAL AND SATELLITE TELEVISION RECEPTION TUNER

摘要

During terrestrial television reception, in general a first conversion into a first intermediate frequency is followed by another conversion into a second intermediate frequency. During satellite television reception, a FM-PLL-demodulator extracts the baseband signal from the satellite signal converted into a first intermediate frequency. For that purpose, two separate tuners are generally used. The object of the invention is to create a common tuner both for terrestrial and satellite television reception with as little circuitry as possible. The second mixing stage (M2) is switched as a mixer for conversion into the second intermediate frequency during terrestrial television reception and is switched as a component of a FM-PLL-demodulator (30) during satellite television reception. The invention is particularly suitable for television receivers and videorecorders which selectively receive the signal of a terrestrial antenna and of a satellite antenna.
