Abstract

See full text

Radio-receiver having a frequency-locked loop which comprises, a tunable voltage-controlled oscillator, a mixer stage, a filtering element, as well as a frequency-voltage converter which is connected to the tunable voltage-controlled oscillator. Several stable tunings are possible for each transmitter. An unambiguous selection is made from these stable tunings of a tuning to a desired station by muting the radio receiver in the other stable tuning frequency ranges. To this end the radio receiver according to the invention comprises a muting circuit as well as a control circuit for the muting circuit. A further frequency voltage converter comprising an all-pass frequency-dependent 180.degree. phase shifting network, a phase detector and a limiter detects a tuning error. By adjusting the muting circuit of the radio receiver to the quiescent condition only in the desired tuning range and by activating it outside this range, a suppression of interstation noise is obtained.
