Patent ID: 8326247

Claim:
A receiver comprising: a first frequency changing circuit for converting a received signal including two or more broadcast waves into a first intermediate frequency signal with a local oscillation; a band separation filter for allowing bands included in said two or more broadcast waves converted into said first intemiediate frequency signal to pass therethrough simultaneously; and a second frequency changing circuit for converting the received signal which is outputted by said band separation filter and which is limited to said two or more broadcast waves into a second intermediate frequency signal from which each of the broadcast waves can be sampled at a frequency at which the broadcast waves do not interfere with one another, wherein said band separation filter is comprised of multiple delay circuits for delaying said received signal by a predetermined time, coefficient multiplying units each for multiplying an input or an output of a corresponding one of said delay circuits by a predetermined coefficient, and an adder for calculating a sum of outputs of said coefficient multiplying units.
