Receiver

Abstract

A receiver in which the sneaking noise from a crystal oscillator is reduced. A high-frequency amplifier circuit 11, a mixing circuit 12, a local oscillator 13, intermediate-frequency filters 14 and 16, an intermediate-frequency amplifier circuit 15, a limit circuit 17, an FM detection circuit 18, and a stereo demodulation circuit 19, an oscillator 20, and a PLL circuit 21 all constituting an FM receiver are provided as a one-chip component 10. A crystal oscillator 31 as an external component is connected to the oscillator 20. The natural-oscillation frequency of the crystal oscillator 31 is so set that the fundamental component and its harmonics are out of the reception band.
