  • Patent number: 8498600
    Abstract: A tuner includes a low noise amplifier (LNA), a first received signal strength indicator (RSSI), a mixer, an intermediate frequency (IF) filter, a second RSSI and an adjustment unit. The LNA amplifies a radio frequency (RF) signal. The first RSSI detects received signal strength indication of the RF signal and obtains a first signal strength voltage. The mixer is coupled to the LNA and down-converts the RF signal into a first IF signal according to a local oscillation frequency. The IF filter is coupled to the mixer and filters the first IF signal to obtain a second IF signal. The second RSSI detects received signal strength indication of the second IF signal and obtains a second signal strength voltage. The adjustment unit adjusts a gain of the LNA according to the first signal strength voltage and the second signal strength voltage.

  • Publication number: 20100189194
    Abstract: A frequency generation circuit comprises a crystal oscillator (10) for providing an input frequency, a phase-locked loop circuit (28), and a programmable frequency divider (42) for frequency dividing an output from the phase-locked loop circuit. The frequency generation circuit can generate a plurality of different output frequencies for supply to respective DAB and FM tuners (50, 60, 70). The frequency generation circuit can be used, together with a baseband circuit (14), in a radio receiver (1, 2). The same oscillator (10) and phase-locked loop circuit are used to drive the baseband circuit.
