    摘要: A system, apparatus and/or method provides frequency response adjustment of an RF input filter (208) of an RF tuner (40) based on impedance of an antenna system (24) that is providing reception of RF signals to the RF tuner. The frequency response adjustment is preferably accomplished dynamically and/or with respect to each frequency tuned. Particularly, the system, method and/or apparatus provides compensation at the RF tuner level for mistuning effects produced on the RF tuner (40) by antenna system impedance (29) presented at the antenna input (30) that is other than a designed for impedance. Frequency response of an RF input filter (208, 216) for the RF tuner (40) is electronically adjustable with an independent or semi-independent control voltage signal based on one or more measured parameters of a tuning frequency. Frequency response adjustment may include adjustment of a center frequency of the RF input filter bandpass frequency range and/or altering the bandpass frequency range of the RF input filter. The subject invention expands the capability of an RF signal receiver, particularly one using at least one electronically adjustable RF filter at the input of an electronic alignment type tuner.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for processing a received television signal comprising one of a first type of television signal and a second type of television signal. Specifically, the method comprises amplifying said received television signal in response to a control signal. If the received television signal comprises the first type of television signal, the RF amplifier gain is reduced when said received television signal exceeds a first signal level. If the received television signal comprises the second type of television signal, the RF amplifier gain is reduced when said received television signal exceeds a second signal level. The second signal level is greater than said first signal level. A concomitant apparatus is also provided. As the first signal level is lower for the first type of television signal, reception of the first type of television signal is improved.
