Abstract

See full text

A storing circuit for storing control data for a varactor diode, a frequency divided data generating circuit for generating frequency divided data to set the local oscillating frequency of a local oscillating circuit, a determining circuit for computing a receiving frequency from the frequency divided data and determining whether or not the receiving frequency is within a designated frequency range and an arithmetic circuit for executing computation in compliance with data indicating the receiving frequency and control data stored in the storing circuit are provided, and the capacitance of the variable capacitance element is controlled by analog-conversion of an output signal from the arithmetic circuit, thus tracking errors caused by variation in tuning elements are prevented and an RF tuning circuit control interval is reduced.
