摘要:
A signal strength detector comprises first, second and third transistors of the same conductivity type. The emitter electrodes of each transistor are connected together and coupled with one of a pair of dc supply lines. The collector electrodes of the first and second transistors are each coupled with the other of the pair of dc supply lines. The base electrode of the first and second transistors are each coupled via a resistor to the base electrode of the third transistor. The collector electrode of the third transistor is effective to provide a source of output current which is representative of a differential signal level between the base electrodes of the first and second transistors.

A control signal generator for use with a broadcast receiver having a signal level indicator including a plurality of sequentially actuated luminous elements. The received signal strength is indicated by the number of luminous elements which are lit. The control signal generator is responsive to the signal level indicator to provide control signals for automatic frequency control circuitry and/or muting circuitry. The signal level indicator may include cicuitry for converting arbitrarily selected changes in the received signal to changes the indicator normally detects to thereby effect the sequential actuation of the luminous elements in accordance with the arbitrarily selected changes in the received signal.

A frequency counting apparatus is advantageously utilized as a frequency counter for displaying in a digital manner the frequency being received by a radio receiver. The inventive frequency counting apparatus includes a quartz resonator adapted to oscillate at the frequency of 2.sup.n Hz where n is a positive integer, for example 32,768 Hz, and a microprocessor including a programming unit, an operating unit for making operation in accordance with a program of the programming apparatus, a counter and a control unit. The program steps of the programming unit are made to progress based on the oscillation output signal of the quartz resonator. The counter is supplied with a local oscillation signal of a radio receiver. The local oscillation signal supplied to the counter is gated for a predetermined time period determined in accordance with the program of the programming unit, whereby the local oscillation signal is counted. The count value in the counter is multiplied or divided by a prescribed correction factor preloaded in the programming unit by means of the operating unit.

A display in a superheterodyne receiver having a local oscillator, adapted for displaying in a digital manner the frequency of a signal being received by the receiver by counting the local oscillation frequency by means of a preset counter wherein the data for the prescribed intermediate frequency or the complement thereof is preset. A reference voltage is generated by means of a variable resistor for correcting the difference between the preset value for the prescribed intermediate frequency and the actual intermediate frequency of the intermediate frequency stage of a receiver as actually manufactured, and a comparison voltage is obtained by digital/analog converting the output of a multiple-bit counter which is stepped responsive to clock pulses. The reference voltage and the comparison voltage are compared and the preset counter is supplied through a gate controlled responsive to the comparison output with the clock pulses of the number associated with the difference between both voltages, whereby the preset value in the preset counter is corrected.

A reference frequency signal is prepared by a fixed frequency oscillator or by multiplying the IF frequency. A receiving frequency representing signal is obtained as an output of the RF amplifier or that of the local oscillator. The two signals are mixed to produce a beat frequency signal, which is converted by a frequency detector into a d.c. voltage or current, which in turn is applied to a meter. The meter carries a scale marked in frequencies, the pointer indicating the receiving frequency.
