Abstract:
A demodulator is able to demodulate a television signal and an FM broadcast signal by a common demodulator. Also, a receiver is able to output television video signal and audio signal and an audio signal of the FM broadcast signal by the common demodulator without using a second mixer for frequency-converting the FM broadcast signal to provide an audio intermediate frequency signal of 10.7 MHz when the FM broadcast signal is received. A demodulator includes a first input terminal, a second input terminal, a third input terminal and a change-over switch and wherein the change-over switch connects the first input terminal, a video detector and a video carrier generator to receive the television signal and the change-over switch connects the third input terminal, the video detector and the video carrier generator to receive the FM broadcast signal.
Abstract:
A television tuner includes a mixer circuit for receiving a television signal or an FM signal, and a local oscillator circuit for generating an oscillation signal received by the mixer circuit. When the television signal is received, a television intermediate-frequency signal is generated by the mixer circuit. When the FM broadcast signal is received, an FM intermediate-frequency signal having a frequency converted to about 10.7 MHz is generated by the mixer circuit.

A bare chip is superimposed on the insulating substrate, so as to respectively connect the first electrodes and the second electrodes to the first lands and the second lands. Therefore, since the inductance element is positioned below the bare chip, the length of the connecting conductor between the inductance element and the semiconductor circuit can be extremely shortened, and a high-Q electronic circuit, especially in high-frequency, can be provided.
