Abstract
The VHF and UHF tuners of a television receiver are coupled by a switchable diplexing circuit to a single antenna input terminal. The diplexing circuit includes a first electronic switching means responsive to a U/V bandswitch control signal connected between the UHF tuner and the antenna input terminal. A switchable low-pass filter is connected between the VHF tuner and the antenna input terminal, the switchable low-pass filter including a second electronic switching means responsive to the U/V bandswitch control signal for causing the low-pass filter to exhibit a first low-pass frequency response having a cut-off frequency fc in the VHF mode and a second low-pass frequency responsive having a cut-off frequency less then fc in the UHF mode.
