  • Publication number: 20120019731
    Abstract: A tuner module includes a tuner module substrate having a tuner function part formed thereon, a case body having a shielding function of holding and incorporating at least the tuner module substrate, a circuit board on which the tuner module substrate is mounted, and at least one antenna connector to be fixed to the case body and having a core wire connected to the tuner module substrate incorporated in the case body. A part of the circuit board is contained inside the case body.

  • Publication number: 20100130148
    Abstract: A tuner module includes a filter that reduces the signal level outside the frequency band of a selected channel in an input RF signal of terrestrial television broadcasting, a local oscillation circuit that oscillates a local oscillation signal, a mixing circuit that mixes the RF signal in which the signal level outside the frequency band of the selected channel is reduced by the filter and the local oscillation signal oscillated by the local oscillation circuit to downconvert the RF signal to an intermediate frequency signal, and a control circuit that controls the local oscillation frequency of the local oscillation signal oscillated by the local oscillation circuit. The control circuit adjusts the local oscillation frequency to a value that suppresses an effect of a disturbance wave from other channels within a frequency band of the intermediate frequency signal of the selected channel.

  • Patent number: 7376405
    Abstract: Interruption of a reception signal is achieved by placing a first low noise amplifier into the sleep state, and short-circuiting a shunt switch provided between differential input terminals of a second low noise amplifier during a DC offset canceling period. Further, an antenna switch is switched to a circuit system where DC offset canceling is not performed for preventing the input of the reception signal to a circuit system where DC offset canceling is performed.
