Patent ID: 7088984

Claim:
An electronic tuner which selectively receives two VHF frequency bands of a VHF High band and a VHF Low band, the electronic tuner comprising: an amplifying circuit for amplifying a received signal; and a mixing circuit for mixing the received signal that has been amplified by the amplifying circuit with a local oscillation signal so as to perform frequency conversion, wherein between a ground and at least one of an input part of the amplifying circuit, an output part of the amplifying circuit, and an input part of the mixing circuit serially connected are a coil and a switching element in such a manner that the switching element is arranged on a side of the ground, and a capacitor is connected between the ground and a connecting part of the coil and the switching element, the switching element being brought into conduction when the VHF High band is selected and being brought out of conduction when the VHF Low band is selected.
