Abstract
A radio broadcast receiver includes: a frequency conversion circuit for receiving a radio broadcast wave and for outputting a reception signal; a detection circuit for detecting the reception signal of an analog radio broadcast wave and for outputting a detection signal; an automatic tuning device for searching a broadcast frequency; and a noise amplifier for amplifying a noise component in the detection signal and for outputting a noise detection signal. The automatic tuning device selects the broadcast frequency when the reception signal level is equal to or larger than a predetermined electric field intensity threshold value and a noise detection signal level is equal to or smaller than a predetermined noise determination threshold value.
