  • Method and apparatus for receiving an amplitude modulated radio signal
    Patent number: 7099638
    Abstract: Receiving apparatus (1) for receiving an amplitude modulated signal which may be transmitted on a plurality of frequency channels within a predetermined frequency bandwidth comprises a tuner (3) for sequentially scanning through the channels under the control of a microprocessor (6) which determines the presence of a signal on a channel to which the tuner (3) is tuned. A first validation circuit (10) determines if the received signal is a valid type signal, and if so the microprocessor (6) counts the channels from the channel on which the signal is first detected to the channel on which the signal can no longer be detected is reached.
