Abstract
A multiple-band superheterodyne receiver, comprising a high frequency amplifier for receiving a high frequency signal, a local oscillator for providing an oscillation frequency signal the frequency of which is different by a given frequency difference from the received high frequency signal, a mixer for mixing these two frequency signals for providing an intermediate frequency signal, a band selecting switch, and means for setting the data concerning the frequency of a high frequency signal to be received, said local oscillator comprising a voltage controlled oscillator for providing an oscillation frequency signal the frequency of which is variable as a function of a given control voltage, a frequency divider for frequency dividing the output from the voltage controlled oscillator, a read only memory for storing the data concerning a plurality of frequency differences, each corresponding to one of said plurality of receiving frequency bands and responsive to the band selecting signal for selectively withdrawing the data concerning the corresponding frequency difference of the selected band, means responsive to the read only memory and the high frequency setting means for varying the rate of frequency division of the frequency divider to a value determined by the frequency difference and the set high frequency, and a phase detector responsive to a reference oscillator and the frequency divider for providing a control voltage associated with the frequency of the output from the frequency divider to the said voltage controlled oscillator, whereby the intermediate frequency of the said receiver is adaptably changed in response to the band selecting switch, with the result that the difference in the intermediate frequency is compensated which is caused depending on the receiving band, the broadcasting standard, and the like.
