Abstract
A time signal carrying encoded time information transmitted at a transmission frequency from any one of plural time signal transmitters is received, amplified, and evaluated to acquire the time information. The transmission frequency of the received time signal is determined (provided is the time information signal's just emitted frequency f), and an amplification factor of the amplification of the signal is adjusted depending on the transmission frequency. A receiver circuit for a radio-controlled clock in this regard includes at least one amplifier having a variable amplification factor that is adjustable dependent on the frequency of the received time signal.
