【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、ビデオ信号再生回路に係わり、特に、テレビジョン放送信号を受信してビデオ信号を再生する際に、チューナ部の出力側にリチウムナイオベート(LiNbO)基板を用いた表面弾性波(SAW)フィルタを接続し、全体の回路構成を簡素化し、製造コストを安価にしたビデオ信号再生回路に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、放送信号を受信し、ビデオ信号を再生するビデオ信号再生回路には、チューナ部から出力される中間周波信号を抽出するために、チューナ部の出力側にリチウムタンタレート(LiTaO)基板を用いた表面弾性波(SAW)フィルタを接続した構成のものが知られている。
【0003】
図5は、かかる既知のビデオ信号再生回路の構成の一例を示すブロック構成図である。
【0004】
図5に示されるように、既知のビデオ信号再生回路は、テレビジョン放送信号を受信して中間周波信号に周波数変換するチューナ部51と、チューナ部51の出力側に中間周波増幅器52を介して接続されたリチウムタンタレート(LiTaO)基板を用いた表面弾性波(SAW)フィルタ53と、表面弾性波フィルタ53の出力側にインピーダンス整合コイル54を介して接続された検波用集積回路(IC)55と、検波用集積回路55の出力側に接続されたビデオイコライザ回路56とによって構成されている。
【0005】
この場合、中間周波増幅器52は、表面弾性波フィルタ53で発生する中間周波数信号の比較的大きな損失を補償するために用いたもので、インピーダンス整合コイル54は、表面弾性波フィルタ53の高い出力インピーダンスを、検波用集積回路55の低い入力インピーダンスにインピーダンス整合させるために用いたものである。
【0006】
かかる構成を有するビデオ信号再生回路において、チューナ部51はアンテナ(図示なし)で受信したテレビジョン放送信号を中間周波数信号に変換して出力し、中間周波増幅器52はこの中間周波数信号を増幅して出力する。表面弾性波フィルタ53は増幅した中間周波数信号の中から必要な中間周波数信号のみを抽出し、インピーダンス整合コイル54は抽出した必要な中間周波数信号に対するインピーダンス変換を行なう。検波用集積回路55は必要な中間周波数信号を検波してビデオ信号を出力し、ビデオイコライザ回路56はビデオ信号に対して所定の周波数等化を行なっている。
【0007】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、前記既知のビデオ信号再生回路に利用されているリチウムタンタレート基板を用いた表面弾性波フィルタ53は、温度−周波数特性が比較的良好であるため、特別に温度補償回路を付加することなしに使用することができるという利点がある反面、比較的高価であり、信号通過帯域内の信号損失が比較的大きく、しかも、入出力インピーダンスが比較的高いものである。このため、リチウムタンタレート基板を用いた表面弾性波フィルタ53を用いた既知のビデオ信号再生回路は、信号通過帯域内で生じる信号損失を補償するために、表面弾性波フィルタ53の前段に中間周波増幅器52を接続したり、表面弾性波フィルタ53が呈する高い出力インピーダンスを検波用集積回路55が呈する低い入力インピーダンスにインピーダンス整合させるために、表面弾性波フィルタ53の後段にインピーダンス整合コイル54を接続したりする必要がある。
【0008】
このように、リチウムタンタレート基板を用いた表面弾性波フィルタ53を用いた既知のビデオ信号再生回路は、中間周波増幅器52やインピーダンス整合コイル54の接続により、ビデオ信号再生回路の構成が複雑になるだけでなく、表面弾性波フィルタ53自体が高価なことと相俟って、ビデオ信号再生回路の製造コストが高価になってしまうという問題を有している。
【0009】
本発明は、これらの問題点を解決するもので、その目的は、安価な表面弾性波フィルタを用い、その比較的大きな温度−周波数特性を簡単な回路で補償することによって、全体の構成を簡素化し、製造コストを安価にしたビデオ信号再生回路を提供することにある。
【0011】
【課題を解決するための手段】
前記目的を達成するために、本発明のビデオ信号再生回路は、表面弾性波フィルタとして、リチウムナイオベート基板を用いた表面弾性波フィルタを用い、その温度−周波数特性を打ち消すために、チューナ部及びビデオイコライザ回路の双方に全体としてその温度−周波数特性と逆の温度−周波数特性を持たせるようにした手段を具備する。
【0012】
前記手段によれば、表面弾性波フィルタに、安価で、入出力インピーダンスの低いリチウムナイオベート基板を用いた表面弾性波フィルタを利用しているので、既知のこの種の回路に用いられていた表面弾性波フィルタの信号損失を補償する中間周波増幅器や、インピーダンスを整合させるインピーダンス整合コイルが不必要になり、全体的にビデオ信号再生回路の回路構成が簡素化され、製造コストが安価になる。
【0013】
また、前記手段によれば、リチウムナイオベート基板を用いた表面弾性波フィルタの温度−周波数特性を、その温度−周波数特性と逆の温度−周波数特性を有するチューナ部及びビデオイコライザ回路によって補償し、ビデオ信号再生回路全体の温度−周波数特性をなくしている。
【0015】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の実施の形態において、少なくとも、放送信号を受信して中間周波信号に周波数変換するチューナ部と、チューナ部の出力側に接続されたリチウムナイオベート基板を用いた表面弾性波フィルタと、表面弾性波フィルタの出力側に検波用集積回路を介して接続されたビデオイコライザ回路とからなり、チューナ部及びビデオイコライザ回路に温度−周波数特性を持たせ、それらの温度−周波数特性によって表面弾性波フィルタの温度−周波数特性を打ち消すようにしているものである。
【0016】
また、この実施の形態の具体例においては、チューナ部に温度依存型中間周波共振回路用いて温度−周波数特性を持たせており、好ましくは、温度依存型中間周波共振回路に温度−容量特性を有するコンデンサを用いている。
【0017】
かかる本発明の実施の形態によれば、必要な中間周波信号を抽出する表面弾性波フィルタに、安価で、入出力インピーダンスの低いリチウムナイオベート基板を用いた表面弾性波フィルタを利用することにより、既知のビデオ信号再生回路に用いられていた、表面弾性波フィルタの信号損失を補償する中間周波増幅器や表面弾性波フィルタと次続の検波用集積回路とをインピーダンスを整合させるインピーダンス整合コイルを省いているので、全体的にビデオ信号再生回路の回路構成が簡素化され、安価なリチウムナイオベート基板を用いた表面弾性波フィルタの利用と相俟って、ビデオ信号再生回路の製造コストを安価にすることが可能になる。
【0018】
また、本発明の実施の形態によれば、リチウムナイオベート基板を用いた表面弾性波フィルタが有する温度−周波数特性を、チューナ部及びビデオイコライザ回路にその温度−周波数特性と逆の温度−周波数特性を持たせ、この逆の温度−周波数特性によって打ち消すようにしているので、ビデオ信号再生回路全体の温度−周波数特性がなくなり、周囲温度の変動に伴うビデオ信号の帯域幅の変動を防ぐことができる。
【0019】
【実施例】
以下、本発明の実施例を図面を参照して説明する。
【0020】
図1は、本発明によるビデオ信号再生回路の一実施例の構成を示すブロック回路図である。
【0021】
図1に示されるように、本実施例のビデオ信号再生回路は、テレビジョン放送信号を受信し、中間周波信号に周波数変換して出力するチューナ部1と、チューナ部1の出力側に接続されたリチウムナイオベート(LiNbO)基板を用いた表面弾性波(SAW)フィルタ2と、表面弾性波フィルタ2の出力側に接続された検波用集積回路(IC)3と、検波用集積回路3の出力側に接続されたビデオイコライザ回路4と、ビデオイコライザ回路4の出力端(図番なし)に接続されたビデオ信号出力端子5とを備えている。
【0022】
この場合、チューナ部1は、以下に詳しく述べるように、表面弾性波フィルタ2が呈する比較的大きな温度−周波数特性と逆の比較的大きな温度−周波数特性を有するものが用いられる。
【0023】
また、図2(a)は、図1に図示されたチューナ部1の出力部分の1つの構成例を示すブロック構成図であり、図2(b)乃至(d)は、図2(a)に図示された温度依存型中間周波共振回路の他の構成例を示す回路図である。
【0024】
図2(a)に示されるように、チューナ部1の出力部分は、同調されるテレビジョン放送信号周波数に対応した周波数の局部発振信号を出力する局部発振器6と、受信されたテレビジョン放送信号と局部発振信号とを周波数混合する周波数混合器7と、中間周波数に同調し、温度−周波数特性を有する温度依存型中間周波共振回路8と、中間周波信号出力増幅器9とを具備している。
【0025】
この場合、図2(a)に図示された例の場合、温度依存型中間周波共振回路8には、コイル10及び温度−容量特性を有するコンデンサ11の並列回路が信号伝送路と接地点間に接続されたものが用いられている。
【0026】
さらに、図3(a)は、リチウムナイオベート基板を用いた表面弾性波フィルタ2の信号通過特性であり、図3(b)は、チューナ部1の温度依存型中間周波共振回路8が呈する通過特性である。
【0027】
図3(a)、(b)において、縦軸は信号レベル、横軸は周波数であって、実線は常温(例えば、25℃)のときの特性であり、一点鎖線は高温(例えば、55℃)のときの特性である。
【0028】
前記構成による本実施例のビデオ信号再生回路の動作を、図1、図2(a)及び図3(a)、(b)を用いて説明する。
【0029】
チューナ部1は、受信アンテナ(図示なし)を通してテレビジョン放送信号を受信し、受信したテレビジョン放送信号を高周波増幅器(図示なし)で増幅し、次に、周波数混合器7で局部発振器6から供給される局部発振信号と周波数混合して周波数混合信号を発生し、続いて、温度依存型中間周波共振回路8で供給された周波数混合信号に対し、図3(b)の実線に示されるような中間周波信号帯域通過特性によって中間周波信号を抽出し、中間周波信号出力増幅器9で抽出した中間周波信号を所要レベルまで増幅し、次続の表面弾性波フィルタ2に供給する。
【0030】
表面弾性波フィルタ2は、チューナ部1から供給された中間周波数信号に対し、図3(a)の実線に示されるような中間周波信号帯域通過特性によって必要な周波数成分を有する中間周波信号を抽出し、次続の検波用集積回路3に供給する。検波用集積回路3は、供給された中間周波信号を検波してビデオ信号を再生し、次続のビデオイコライザ回路4に供給する。ビデオイコライザ回路4は、供給されたビデオ信号に必要とする周波数等化を付与し、ビデオ信号出力端子5に供給する。
【0031】
この場合、使用温度が常温(例えば、25℃)またはそれに近いときは、リチウムナイオベート基板を用いた表面弾性波フィルタ2における図3(a)の実線に示されるような中間周波信号帯域通過特性が、温度依存性中間周波共振回路8における図3(b)の実線に示されるような中間周波信号帯域通過特性にほぼ重なり合い、得られるビデオ信号の帯域通過特性は、実質的に、図3(a)の実線に示されるような表面弾性波フィルタ2における中間周波信号帯域通過特性に依存したものになる。
【0032】
一方、使用温度が常温より高い高温(例えば、55℃)またはそれに近くなると、表面弾性波フィルタ2が有する固有の温度−周波数特性によって、図3(a)の一点鎖線に示されるように、表面弾性波フィルタ2における中間周波信号帯域通過特性が全体的に低い周波数方向に移行するようになる。このとき、温度依存型中間周波共振回路8は、コンデンサ11に負の温度−容量特性を有するものを用い、その中間周波信号帯域通過特性を、図3(b)の一点鎖線に示されるように、全体的に高い周波数方向に移行させるようにしているので、表面弾性波フィルタ2による温度−周波数特性と温度依存型中間周波共振回路8による温度−周波数特性とが打ち消しあうようになり、ビデオ信号出力端子5に得られるビデオ信号の周波数特性を、使用温度の変化に係りなしに、ほぼ一定にすることができる。
【0033】
また、使用温度が常温より低い低温(例えば、−10℃)またはそれに近くなった場合、表面弾性波フィルタ2における中間周波信号帯域通過特性の全体的な周波数移行方向、温度依存型中間周波共振回路8における中間周波信号帯域通過特性の全体的な周波数移行方向は、それぞれ使用温度が常温より高い高温になった場合と逆になるが、表面弾性波フィルタ2による温度−周波数特性と温度依存型中間周波共振回路8による温度−周波数特性とは打ち消しあい、同様に、ビデオ信号出力端子5に得られるビデオ信号の周波数特性を、使用温度の変化に係りなしに、ほぼ一定にすることができる。
【0034】
ところで、前記実施例においては、温度依存型中間周波共振回路8として、コイル10及び正の温度−容量特性を有するコンデンサ11の並列回路を信号伝送路と接地点間に分路接続したものを用いた例を示したが、温度依存型中間周波共振回路8の構成例は、図2(a)に図示のものに限られず、図2(b)に示されるように、コイル10、正の温度−容量特性を有するコンデンサ11、抵抗12からなる並列回路を信号伝送路と接地点間に分路接続したもの、図2(c)に示されるように、コイル10と負の温度−容量特性を有するコンデンサ11の並列回路を信号伝送路に直列接続したもの、図2(d)に示されるように、コイル10、負の温度−容量特性を有するコンデンサ11、抵抗12からなる並列回路を信号伝送路に直列接続したものを用いてもよい。
【0035】
この場合、前記実施例は、温度依存型中間周波共振回路8に加えて、ビデオイコライザ回路4にも温度依存型中間周波共振回路8と同様の温度−周波数特性を持たせ、温度依存型中間周波共振回路8が有する温度−周波数特性とビデオイコライザ回路4が有する温度−周波数特性との総合の温度−周波数特性によって、表面弾性波フィルタ2による温度−周波数特性を打ち消すようにしている。
【0036】
図4(a)、(b)は、この実施例に用いられる温度−周波数特性を持ったビデオイコライザ回路4の各構成例を示す回路図である。
【0037】
の実施例の場合、ビデオイコライザ回路4は、図4(a)に示されるように、コイル13、負の温度−容量特性を有するコンデンサ14、抵抗15からなる直列回路を信号伝送経路と接地点間に分路接続したもの、または、図4(b)に示されるように、コイル13と抵抗15の並列回路を信号伝送経路に直列接続し、負の温度−容量特性を有するコンデンサ14を信号伝送経路と接地点間に接続したもの等が用いられる。
【0038】
この実施例においては、表面弾性波フィルタ2による温度−周波数特性を、温度依存型中間周波共振回路8が有する温度−周波数特性とビデオイコライザ回路4が有する温度−周波数特性との総合の温度−周波数特性で打ち消すようにしているので、温度依存型中間周波共振回路8やビデオイコライザ回路4の設計に裕度を持たせることができる。
【0039】
【発明の効果】
以上のように、本発明によれば、必要な中間周波信号を抽出する表面弾性波フィルタに、安価で、入出力インピーダンスの低いリチウムナイオベート基板を用いた表面弾性波フィルタを利用したので、既知のビデオ信号再生回路に用いられていた、表面弾性波フィルタの信号損失を補償する中間周波増幅器や表面弾性波フィルタと次続の検波用集積回路とをインピーダンスを整合させるインピーダンス整合コイルを省くことが可能になり、全体的にビデオ信号再生回路の回路構成が簡素化され、安価な前記表面弾性波フィルタの利用と相俟って、ビデオ信号再生回路の製造コストを安価できるという効果がある。
【0040】
また、本発明によれば、リチウムナイオベート基板を用いた表面弾性波フィルタが有する比較的大きな温度−周波数特性を、チューナ部及びビデオイコライザ回路にその温度−周波数特性と逆の温度−周波数特性を持たせ、この逆の温度−周波数特性により打ち消すようにしているので、ビデオ信号再生全体の温度−周波数特性がなくなり、周囲温度の変動に伴うビデオ信号の帯域幅の変動を防げるという効果がある。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a video signal reproducing circuit, and particularly to a surface acoustic wave using a lithium niobate (LiNbO 3 ) substrate on the output side of a tuner unit when a television broadcast signal is received and a video signal is reproduced. The present invention relates to a video signal reproducing circuit to which a SAW) filter is connected, the entire circuit configuration is simplified, and the manufacturing cost is reduced.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, a video signal reproducing circuit that receives a broadcast signal and reproduces a video signal includes a lithium tantalate (LiTaO 3 ) substrate on the output side of the tuner unit in order to extract an intermediate frequency signal output from the tuner unit. A configuration in which a used surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter is connected is known.
[0003]
FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of such a known video signal reproducing circuit.
[0004]
As shown in FIG. 5, a known video signal reproduction circuit includes a tuner unit 51 that receives a television broadcast signal and converts the frequency into an intermediate frequency signal, and an output side of the tuner unit 51 via an intermediate frequency amplifier 52. A surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter 53 using a connected lithium tantalate (LiTaO 3 ) substrate, and an integrated circuit for detection (IC) connected to the output side of the surface acoustic wave filter 53 via an impedance matching coil 54 55 and a video equalizer circuit 56 connected to the output side of the detection integrated circuit 55.
[0005]
In this case, the intermediate frequency amplifier 52 is used to compensate for a relatively large loss of the intermediate frequency signal generated in the surface acoustic wave filter 53, and the impedance matching coil 54 is used to compensate for the high output impedance of the surface acoustic wave filter 53. Is used for impedance matching to the low input impedance of the detection integrated circuit 55.
[0006]
In the video signal reproducing circuit having such a configuration, the tuner section 51 converts a television broadcast signal received by an antenna (not shown) into an intermediate frequency signal and outputs the intermediate frequency signal, and the intermediate frequency amplifier 52 amplifies the intermediate frequency signal. Output. The surface acoustic wave filter 53 extracts only necessary intermediate frequency signals from the amplified intermediate frequency signals, and the impedance matching coil 54 performs impedance conversion on the extracted required intermediate frequency signals. The detection integrated circuit 55 detects a necessary intermediate frequency signal and outputs a video signal, and the video equalizer circuit 56 performs predetermined frequency equalization on the video signal.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, the surface acoustic wave filter 53 using a lithium tantalate substrate used in the known video signal reproducing circuit has a relatively good temperature-frequency characteristic, so that no special temperature compensation circuit is added. On the other hand, it is relatively expensive, has a relatively large signal loss in the signal pass band, and has a relatively high input / output impedance. For this reason, a known video signal reproducing circuit using a surface acoustic wave filter 53 using a lithium tantalate substrate has an intermediate frequency signal before the surface acoustic wave filter 53 in order to compensate for a signal loss occurring in a signal pass band. In order to connect the amplifier 52 or to match the high output impedance of the surface acoustic wave filter 53 to the low input impedance of the detection integrated circuit 55, an impedance matching coil 54 is connected to the subsequent stage of the surface acoustic wave filter 53. Need to be
[0008]
As described above, in the known video signal reproduction circuit using the surface acoustic wave filter 53 using the lithium tantalate substrate, the configuration of the video signal reproduction circuit is complicated by the connection of the intermediate frequency amplifier 52 and the impedance matching coil 54. Not only that, the surface acoustic wave filter 53 itself is expensive, but also has a problem that the manufacturing cost of the video signal reproducing circuit becomes high.
[0009]
The present invention solves these problems, and its purpose is to use an inexpensive surface acoustic wave filter and compensate for its relatively large temperature-frequency characteristics with a simple circuit, thereby simplifying the overall configuration. It is an object of the present invention to provide a video signal reproducing circuit which has a reduced manufacturing cost.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the video signal reproducing circuit of the present invention uses a surface acoustic wave filter using a lithium niobate substrate as a surface acoustic wave filter, and cancels the temperature-frequency characteristics by using a tuner unit and The video equalizer circuit is provided with means for giving a temperature-frequency characteristic opposite to the temperature-frequency characteristic as a whole.
[0012]
According to the means , the surface acoustic wave filter uses an inexpensive surface acoustic wave filter using a lithium niobate substrate having a low input / output impedance, so that the surface used in known circuits of this type is used. An intermediate frequency amplifier for compensating for the signal loss of the acoustic wave filter and an impedance matching coil for matching the impedance are not required, and the circuit configuration of the video signal reproducing circuit is simplified as a whole, and the manufacturing cost is reduced.
[0013]
According to the means , the temperature-frequency characteristic of the surface acoustic wave filter using the lithium niobate substrate is compensated by a tuner unit and a video equalizer circuit having a temperature-frequency characteristic opposite to the temperature-frequency characteristic, The temperature-frequency characteristics of the entire video signal reproducing circuit are eliminated.
[0015]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
In the embodiment of the present invention, at least, a tuner section for receiving a broadcast signal and converting the frequency to an intermediate frequency signal, a surface acoustic wave filter using a lithium niobate substrate connected to the output side of the tuner section, A video equalizer circuit connected to the output side of the acoustic wave filter via a detection integrated circuit, and the tuner section and the video equalizer circuit have temperature-frequency characteristics, and the surface acoustic wave filter is provided by the temperature-frequency characteristics. Is canceled out.
[0016]
In the specific example of this embodiment, the tuner section is provided with a temperature-frequency characteristic by using a temperature-dependent intermediate frequency resonance circuit. Preferably, the temperature-dependent intermediate frequency resonance circuit has a temperature-capacity characteristic. Is used.
[0017]
According to the embodiment of the present invention, by using a surface acoustic wave filter using a lithium niobate substrate that is inexpensive and has low input / output impedance as a surface acoustic wave filter that extracts a necessary intermediate frequency signal, An intermediate frequency amplifier for compensating for the signal loss of the surface acoustic wave filter and an impedance matching coil for matching the impedance between the surface acoustic wave filter and the succeeding detection integrated circuit used in the known video signal reproducing circuit are omitted. As a result, the circuit configuration of the video signal reproducing circuit is simplified as a whole, and the manufacturing cost of the video signal reproducing circuit is reduced in combination with the use of a surface acoustic wave filter using an inexpensive lithium niobate substrate. It becomes possible.
[0018]
Further, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the temperature-frequency characteristic of the surface acoustic wave filter using the lithium niobate substrate is added to the tuner section and the video equalizer circuit in a temperature-frequency characteristic opposite to the temperature-frequency characteristic. And the opposite temperature-frequency characteristic cancels out, so that the temperature-frequency characteristic of the entire video signal reproducing circuit is eliminated, and the fluctuation of the bandwidth of the video signal due to the fluctuation of the ambient temperature can be prevented. .

[0022]
In this case, as described in detail below, a tuner 1 having a relatively large temperature-frequency characteristic opposite to the relatively large temperature-frequency characteristic exhibited by the surface acoustic wave filter 2 is used.
[0023]

FIG. 9 is a circuit diagram showing another configuration example of the temperature-dependent intermediate frequency resonance circuit shown in FIG.
[0024]

[0027]

[0028]
The operation of the video signal reproducing circuit according to the present embodiment having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2A, 3A and 3B.
[0029]
The tuner 1 receives a television broadcast signal through a receiving antenna (not shown), amplifies the received television broadcast signal with a high-frequency amplifier (not shown), and then supplies the signal from a local oscillator 6 with a frequency mixer 7. A frequency mixing signal is generated by frequency mixing with the local oscillation signal to be generated. Then, the frequency mixing signal supplied by the temperature-dependent intermediate frequency resonance circuit 8 is applied to the frequency mixing signal as shown by a solid line in FIG. An intermediate frequency signal is extracted according to the intermediate frequency signal band-pass characteristic, the intermediate frequency signal extracted by the intermediate frequency signal output amplifier 9 is amplified to a required level, and supplied to the next surface acoustic wave filter 2.
[0030]
The surface acoustic wave filter 2 extracts an intermediate frequency signal having a necessary frequency component from the intermediate frequency signal supplied from the tuner unit 1 by an intermediate frequency signal band-pass characteristic as shown by a solid line in FIG. Then, the signal is supplied to the next detection integrated circuit 3. The detection integrated circuit 3 detects the supplied intermediate frequency signal, reproduces a video signal, and supplies the video signal to the next video equalizer circuit 4. The video equalizer circuit 4 applies necessary frequency equalization to the supplied video signal and supplies the video signal to a video signal output terminal 5.
[0031]
In this case, when the operating temperature is at or near normal temperature (for example, 25 ° C. ), the intermediate frequency signal band-pass characteristic of the surface acoustic wave filter 2 using the lithium niobate substrate as shown by the solid line in FIG. Substantially overlaps with the intermediate frequency signal band-pass characteristic of the temperature-dependent intermediate frequency resonance circuit 8 as shown by the solid line in FIG. 3B, and the band-pass characteristic of the obtained video signal is substantially the same as that of FIG. This depends on the bandpass characteristic of the intermediate frequency signal in the surface acoustic wave filter 2 as shown by the solid line in a).
[0032]
On the other hand, when the operating temperature is higher than normal temperature (for example, 55 ° C.) or close to it, as shown by the dashed line in FIG. The bandpass characteristic of the intermediate frequency signal in the elastic wave filter 2 shifts to a lower frequency direction as a whole. At this time, the temperature-dependent intermediate frequency resonance circuit 8 uses a capacitor 11 having a negative temperature-capacitance characteristic, and changes the intermediate frequency signal band-pass characteristic as shown by a dashed line in FIG. , The temperature-frequency characteristics of the surface acoustic wave filter 2 and the temperature-frequency characteristics of the temperature-dependent intermediate frequency resonance circuit 8 cancel each other, and the video signal The frequency characteristics of the video signal obtained at the output terminal 5 can be made substantially constant irrespective of changes in the operating temperature.
[0033]
When the operating temperature is lower than or lower than normal temperature (for example, -10 ° C.), the overall frequency shift direction of the intermediate frequency signal band-pass characteristic in the surface acoustic wave filter 2 and the temperature-dependent intermediate frequency resonance circuit 8, the overall frequency shift direction of the intermediate frequency signal band-pass characteristic is opposite to that in the case where the operating temperature is higher than normal temperature, but the temperature-frequency characteristic by the surface acoustic wave filter 2 and the temperature-dependent intermediate The temperature-frequency characteristics of the frequency resonance circuit 8 cancel each other, and similarly, the frequency characteristics of the video signal obtained at the video signal output terminal 5 can be made substantially constant irrespective of a change in the operating temperature.
[0034]
In the above embodiment, the temperature-dependent intermediate frequency resonance circuit 8 is a circuit in which a parallel circuit of a coil 10 and a capacitor 11 having a positive temperature-capacitance characteristic is shunt-connected between a signal transmission line and a ground point. However, the configuration example of the temperature-dependent intermediate frequency resonance circuit 8 is not limited to the one shown in FIG. 2A, and as shown in FIG. -A parallel circuit composed of a capacitor 11 and a resistor 12 having a capacitance characteristic connected in a shunt between a signal transmission line and a ground point, and as shown in FIG. A parallel circuit of a capacitor 11 having a series connection to a signal transmission line, and as shown in FIG. 2D, a parallel circuit including a coil 10, a capacitor 11 having a negative temperature-capacitance characteristic, and a resistor 12 transmits a signal. Series connection May also be used was.
[0035]
In this case, in the above embodiment , in addition to the temperature-dependent intermediate frequency resonance circuit 8, the video equalizer circuit 4 has the same temperature-frequency characteristics as the temperature-dependent intermediate frequency resonance circuit 8, The temperature-frequency characteristics of the surface acoustic wave filter 2 are canceled by the total temperature-frequency characteristics of the temperature-frequency characteristics of the resonance circuit 8 and the temperature-frequency characteristics of the video equalizer circuit 4.
[0036]
FIGS. 4A and 4B are circuit diagrams showing respective configuration examples of the video equalizer circuit 4 having a temperature-frequency characteristic used in this embodiment.
[0037]
For this embodiment, a video equalizer circuit 4, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), the coil 13, the negative temperature - capacitor 14 having a capacitance characteristic, a series circuit comprising a resistor 15 and a signal transmission path tangent As shown in FIG. 4B, a shunt connection between points or a parallel circuit of a coil 13 and a resistor 15 is connected in series to a signal transmission path, and a capacitor 14 having a negative temperature-capacity characteristic is connected. What is connected between the signal transmission path and the ground point is used.
[0038]
In this embodiment, the temperature-frequency characteristic of the surface acoustic wave filter 2 is represented by the total temperature-frequency characteristic of the temperature-frequency characteristic of the temperature-dependent intermediate frequency resonance circuit 8 and the temperature-frequency characteristic of the video equalizer circuit 4. Since the characteristics are canceled by the characteristics, the design of the temperature-dependent intermediate frequency resonance circuit 8 and the video equalizer circuit 4 can have a margin.
[0039]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, an inexpensive, surface acoustic wave filter using a lithium niobate substrate having a low input / output impedance is used as a surface acoustic wave filter for extracting a necessary intermediate frequency signal. It is possible to omit the intermediate frequency amplifier that compensates for the signal loss of the surface acoustic wave filter and the impedance matching coil that matches the impedance between the surface acoustic wave filter and the succeeding detection integrated circuit used in the video signal reproduction circuit of This makes it possible to simplify the circuit configuration of the video signal reproducing circuit as a whole, and has an effect that the manufacturing cost of the video signal reproducing circuit can be reduced in combination with the use of the inexpensive surface acoustic wave filter.
[0040]
Further, according to the present invention, a relatively large temperature-frequency characteristic of a surface acoustic wave filter using a lithium niobate substrate is provided to the tuner unit and the video equalizer circuit by providing a temperature-frequency characteristic opposite to the temperature-frequency characteristic. Since the temperature-frequency characteristics are reversed by the opposite temperature-frequency characteristics, the temperature-frequency characteristics of the entire video signal reproduction are eliminated, and there is an effect that the fluctuation of the bandwidth of the video signal due to the fluctuation of the ambient temperature can be prevented.
