ABSTRACT:
A tuner for a television receiver includes a voltage controlled local oscillator for tuning VHF channels comprising a transistor arranged in a common base amplifier configuration and a parallel tuned circuit including a varactor diode responsive to a tuning voltage and a first inductor configuration for the low VHF band and a second inductor configuration for the high VHF band connected between the collector and emitter electrodes of the transistor. A second varactor diode also responsive to the tuning voltage is connected between the emitter and base electrodes of the transistor to expand the range of the local oscillator in its high VHF configuration to permit tuning of channels in a midband cable band between the low and high VHF bands without the need for a third inductor configuration.
