    摘要: As a signal seeking tuner tunes through a number of channels to locate the next active (useable) channel, the display screen of a television receiver is blanked when the receiver is tuned between channels or to an inactive (unuseable) channel for which video signal information is substantially absent. Superimposed over the blanked screen background is a moveable tuning indicator bar, the position of which indicates the channel to which the receiver is tuned. The blanking of the screen prevents the tuning indication from being obscured by background noise.

    摘要: In a phase locked loop (PLL) tuning system for a television receiver, the capability of tuning channels with RF signals with non-standard frequencies arbitrarily near the respective standard frequencies is provided by making a frequency divider used in the PLL for establishing the frequency relationship of the local oscillator signal to the crystal oscillator signal controllable in a limited range corresponding to a frequency range less than the frequency separation between channels. As one feature of this system the divider is controlled in accordance with predetermined AFT signal conditions. As another feature, the division factor of the divider is initially offset from its nominal value corresponding to the standard frequency for the selected channel and thereafter the frequency of the local oscillator signal is controlled in response to the AFT signal.

    摘要: A single-turn loop antenna suitable for inclusion within the cabinet of a television receiver has at least one gap forming a pair of feed terminals. Circuitry connects to the feed terminals for tuning the antenna over at least a portion of the television frequency bands and for coupling signals from the feed terminals to a transmission line. The circuitry provides isolation so the tuning of the antenna by the tuning circuitry is unaffected by the impedance of the transmission line or its terminating impedance and variations thereof. The circuitry is affixed to the loop proximate to the feed terminals, and the transmission line is affixed to the periphery of the loop and departs therefrom at a neutral point located, for example, opposite to the gap.

    摘要: In a tuning system for generating a tuning voltage for tuning a television receiver, channel identification apparatus includes a memory for storing binary signals representing boundary voltages having magnitudes corresponding to magnitudes of the tuning voltage between tuning voltage ranges for respective adjacent channels. As the memory locations are addressed, the boundary voltages are compared to the tuning voltages. Control apparatus causes the memory location associated with the next boundary voltage to be addressed and causes channel number apparatus to generate binary signals representing the next channel number when the magnitude of a predetermined one of the boundary voltage associated with an addressed one of the memory locations and the tuning voltage exceeds the magnitude of the other one. Display apparatus displays the channel number represented by the binary signals generated by the channel number apparatus.

    摘要: A signal seeking tuning system includes provisions for allowing the direct selection of channels. It includes a memory for storing lower and upper boundaries of a tuning control voltage range for each channel which may be selected. When a channel is selected, a microcomputer causes the memory location corresponding to one of the boundaries associated with the selected channel to be addressed and causes a tuning voltage generator to change the magnitude of the tuning control voltage in the direction of the boundary. A comparator determines when the tuning control voltage reaches the boundary. Thereafter, the microcomputer controls a signal seeking operation between the boundaries to tune the RF carrier associated with the selected channel.
