Abstract: A circuit for a front-end tunable filter of a communication and broadcast receiver and a tuning method thereof are described herein. In one aspect, the circuit of the tunable filter may be independent of the signal reception link of the receiver. The pre-filter (104) includes a variable capacitance (146) which is adjusted by a tuning signal (160). A negative resistance element (144) and the pre-filter (104) may form an oscillator. The negative resistance element (144) is controlled by an amplitude control signal (162) outputted from an oscillation amplitude control circuit (142). The oscillation amplitude control circuit (142) stabilizes the amplitude of a radio frequency signal (130) in a preset range. An oscillation frequency control circuit (140) stabilizes the frequency of the signal (130) in a preset frequency range by a tuning signal (160). The tuning is completed until both of the amplitude and the frequency of the oscillation signal meet the preset ranges.

Abstract: An input branch of a loss-of-signal (LOS) detector is coupled to a first input of a comparator. A threshold branch of the LOS detector is coupled to a second input of the comparator. An operational amplifier is connected between the input branch and the threshold branch to couple an offset level from the input branch to the threshold branch. The offset level is then cancelled at the comparator.

Abstract: A multiple channel signal processing circuit receives an input associated with a first channel and an input associated with a second channel. The respective inputs are sampled and processed by the circuit, which generates a sampled output signal for the first channel and a sampled output signal for the second channel. The circuit employs a shared active circuit component, such as an operational amplifier, to alternately process samples associated with the first and second channels. A network of switches are controlled by a multiphase clock signal such that the active circuit component processes samples associated with only one channel at a time; as the input for a first channel is being sampled, a previous sample for the second channel is processed. An alternate circuit embodiment may be utilized to reduce the amount of crosstalk between the channels.
