Abstract: An antenna tuning circuit 1 is tuned to a received RF signal, and outputs a signal into an RF amplifying circuit 2 for amplification. After amplification, the circuit 2 outputs a signal to an RF tuning circuit 3, which is then tuned to the supplied signal. Since the frequency of a local oscillation signal is set according to the frequency of an object station, the RF signal of an object station is converted by a mixing circuit 4 into an IF signal having a predetermined center frequency. Also, the tuning frequency of the antenna tuning circuit 1 is adjusted to match the frequency of an object station. When disturbance stations with strong field intensity are received, field intensity of a received signal exceeds a predetermined level and a dumping control circuit 9 is activated to generate a dumping signal. In response to the dumping signal, a dumping circuit 10 is turned on, as a result of which an output signal of the antenna tuning circuit 1 is attenuated.
