Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a channel selection device able to receive a signal stably even against a change in a reception frequency by using a 1st means so as to seek a regular tuning point of a normal broadcast signal and using a 2nd means so as to seek the regular tuning point when no synchronizing signal exists. CONSTITUTION:A synchronizing signal detection circuit 12 as a 1st means checks whether or not a synchronizing signal exists at a point of one reception frequency or over including a specified frequency and when a point where the synchronizing signal exists is found out, the reception frequency is varied at a frequency step at which an S-shaped output of the AFC circuit 5 is at least detectable and when the synchronizing signal exists and the S-shaped output of the circuit 5 is within a specified level range, it is regarded as a regular tuning point to stop the change of the reception frequency by using a controller 3. When no synchronizing signal exists in any point, the reception frequency is varied at a frequency step at which at least an S-shaped output is detected from the upper limit to the lower limit or vice versa in a prescribed frequency range by using a 2nd means and when a point where the S-shaped output exists within the specified level range is taken as the regular tuning point to stop the change of the frequency by using the controller 3.

The time from point α to α' and from point 2 to point 1' is the time to wait for the phase locked loop, AFC output and synchronization signal to become stable, and the AFC output and synchronization signal can be determined at point 1 and b'. It is carried out. Since a cycle is not found at point α' but a cycle is found at point b', the output voltage of the AFC circuit 5 at point b' becomes lower than the second threshold island hold voltage, so the received value frequency is lowered. A request to do so is given to the controller 5.

Next, FIG. 5 shows an example in which there is an AFC output but no synchronization. In Figure 5 (1), α
Since no synchronous flight number is found at points '' and b', it is determined that no synchronous signal is found within the search range d, and the receiving 16 frequency is set at the top of the search range @ point O. From this point, the frequency division ratio of the variable divider 70 is decreased by N, and this procedure is repeated until the AFcw voltage is lower than the threshold island hold voltage VTIg of the younger brother 1, and in the next step, the threshold island hold voltage of the younger brother 2 is lowered. If it becomes higher than the hold voltage, it is determined that the AFC output exists (point d in the figure), and when this point is found,
At this point, the burden of trying to raise the received frequency is given to controller Q-5. Next, the frequency division ratio of the variable frequency divider 7 is increased by 1, and when the AFC output voltage is between the first and second threshold voltages 〆rzlsVrlg, the change in the division ratio of the variable frequency divider 7 is increased. Stop and set the ε point as the optimum tuning point. Thereafter, operations similar to those described with reference to FIG. 2 are performed.
