Abstract
Conventional circuit configurations for range changeover between different bands (UHF, VHF) in television receivers utilize MOS tetrodes whose operating point adjustment is unproblematic. The MOS tetrodes of the inventive circuit configuration comprise a constant potential at their source electrode regardless of the band that is selected. Besides the savings in terms of components, the invention simplifies the dimensioning of the circuit configuration. The invention can be used in all high-frequency receivers having a plurality of frequency ranges between which a changeover is performed.
