Abstract
A TV tuner circuit having a dual-gate MES FET in a UHF RF amplifier and a dual-gate MOS FET in a VHF RF amplifier which are both controlled by a single AGC voltage source. The source of the MES FET is always connected to a DC source voltage input through a resistor so as to ensure that no DC current flows from an AG voltage source to the second gate of the dual-gate MPES FET in receiving VHF signals. Accordingly, there is no drop in the AGC voltage applied to the second gate of the dual-gate MOS FET in the VHF RF amplifier, thereby enabling both the UHF RF amplifier and the VHF RF amplifier to have the same gain reduction characteristics.
