Television receiver
First Claim
1. A television receiving apparatus comprising:
- a tuner for converting a received signal to an intermediate frequency signal;
filter means for receiving said intermediate frequency signal and for supplying a filtered intermediate frequency signal to a homodyne detector circuit, wherein said homodyne detector circuit detects and outputs a video signal;
variable frequency oscillating means for shifting a frequency of said intermediate frequency signal such that a harmonic signal of said intermediate frequency signal induced into said tuner is coincident with a trap frequency of said filter means after said harmonic signal is converted by said tuner, wherein an output of said variable frequency oscillating means is fed to said homodyne detector circuit; and
intermediate frequency signal control means for controlling said variable frequency oscillating means for changing the frequency of said intermediate frequency signal at every selected channel, wherein said tuner includes frequency converting means for converting said received signal into said intermediate frequency signal such that a frequency of a detecting signal of said homodyne detector circuit is coincident with the frequency of said intermediate frequency signal, and the frequency of the detecting signal of said homodyne detector circuit is changed by said variable frequency oscillating means so that the frequency of said intermediate frequency signal is made coincident with the frequency of the detecting signal of said homodyne detector circuit.

Abstract
In a television receiver having a tuner 2 for converting a received signal from an antenna 1 to an intermediate frequency signal and supplying the intermediate frequency signal to a homodyne detector circuit through a filter device to extract a video signal, a variable frequency oscillator is provided for changing the frequency of the intermediate frequency signal such that the frequency of beat components between a local oscillating signal of the tuner and a harmonic signal of the intermediate frequency signal is coincident with a trap frequency of the filter device. The occurrence of interference due to the intermediate frequency signal introducing into the antenna can be prevented by a simple configuration.
