Patent ID: 8581792

Claim:
A receiver apparatus comprising: a main unit device; and a junction cable configured to transmit one or both of signal and electric power between the main unit device and an external device, wherein the junction cable is a multicore coaxial cable having a plurality of core wire cables and a covered wire covering the plurality of core wire cables, and in the junction cable, only the covered wire is cut locally so that the covered wire is divided into a main unit device-side covered wire and an external device-side covered wire, and the main unit device transmits one or both of the signal and electric power by the core wire cable, and the main unit device-side covered wire or the core wire cable is connected to an antenna input port of a built-in tuner, and the main unit device receives a desired broadcast wave with the tuner using a high-frequency signal induced in the main unit device-side covered wire or the external device-side covered wire, when receiving a first type signal, the first type signal is received by a monopole antenna formed by the main unit device-side covered wire, and when receiving a second type signal, the second type signal is received by a sleeve antenna formed by the external device-side covered wire, and wherein an intermediate process portion is provided at a certain distance from the antenna input port, and only the covered wire is cut at the intermediate process portion so that the covered wire is divided into a main unit device-side covered wire and an external device-side covered wire, and the junction cable is inserted through a core in a tubular shape, and the core is disposed at the portion at which the covered wire is cut.
