Abstract:
A receiver for receiving reception signals of a first type and a second type, the receiver comprising:a tuner for providing an intermediate frequency signal in response to a reception signal;a first intermediate frequency signal processing arrangement coupled to said tuner for processing said intermediate frequency signal when said reception signal is of said first type; anda second intermediate frequency signal processing arrangement coupled to said tuner for processing said intermediate frequency signal when said reception signal is of said second type, characterized in that said receiver is a single conversion receiver, and said tuner provides a mixing signal at one frequency for generating said intermediate frequency signal at a first intermediate frequency, using a single frequency conversion from a frequency of the reception signal to said first intermediate frequency, for processing in said first intermediate frequency signal processing arrangement, and alternatively provides a mixing signal at another frequency, different from said one frequency, for generating said intermediate frequency signal at a second intermediate frequency, also using a single frequency conversion, for processing in said second intermediate frequency signal processing arrangement.
