A tunable filter circuit includes a first differential pair biased by a first current, a second differential pair biased by a second current, a first capacitor and a second capacitor. The tunable filter circuit of the present invention can be configured as a bandpass filter or a bandstop filter by connecting the input voltage signal to different input nodes of the tunable filter circuit. The tunable filter circuit can be tuned by adjusting the values of the first current and the second current. In an alternate embodiment, frequency tuning is achieved either by switching capacitive loads or changing resistive impedances introduced at the emitter of the differential pairs, which also extends the input voltage range of the filter. This emitter resistance is implemented using MOS switches whose on-resistance can be controlled for a precise tuning within a large frequency range.

An oscillation frequency changing means is inserted between a tuner and an oscillator of local oscillator (56) of a high frequency receiving device, and the oscillation frequency changing means, in each frequency band received, changes the oscillation frequency characteristic of local oscillator (56) in relation to the tuning voltage supplied from PLL circuit (78), and operates in accordance with the frequency characteristic of tuning filter (52, 54, 62, 64) to obtain an oscillation signal varied just by a predetermined frequency, thereby making it possible to receive broadband channels of continuous VHF broadcast band and UHF broadcast band.

In a method for calibrating or aligning a multistage selective amplifier including an oscillator circuit and at least one tuning circuit, the tuning voltages respectively necessary for aligning the respective tuning circuits to the required receiving frequency are calculated directly from a mathematical relationship between the respective tuning voltage and the oscillator voltage. In order to achieve this, a characteristic multiplicative coefficient and a characteristic additive factor for each tuning circuit are stored in a memory upon manufacturing or switching on the device. In order to select a desired receiving frequency, the respective stored values as well as an oscillator voltage are provided to an amplification circuit, which correspondingly amplifies the oscillator voltage by the multiplicative coefficient and the additive factor and then provides the resulting output value as a tuning voltage to the respective tuning circuit. Thus, all necessary tuning voltages can be determined from the two respective stored values per tuning circuit, as necessary for selecting any desired receiving frequency.

In a T network tuner, a variable shunt capacitor is provided between the signal input and ground that is ganged to the variable input matching capacitor. The operation is mechanically arranged such that, as one decreases the capacitance of the variable input matching capacitor, one increases the capacitance of the shunt capacitor to assist in high frequency matching, both to increase the maximum matchable load resistance and to decrease the minimum matchable load resistance. The variable shunt capacitor therefore assists at the high frequency ranges to bring the antenna impedances down to the transmitter output impedance, thus to establish an extended matching range tuner capable working between 160 and 10 meters.
