ABSTRACT:
To scan channels in a plurality of bands using a single first mixer, an FET transistor in an adaptive first mixer of the scanning radio, in response to a signal from a counter in the scanning local oscillator representing the frequency band of the channel being scanned, has: (1) its gate electrode connected to the output of a selected RF amplifier of a plurality of RF amplifiers for different bands; and (2) its source electrode electrically connected to receive local oscillations through a selected one of a plurality of different impedance networks. These connections enable the adaptive first mixer to maintain sufficiently high conversion gain when receiving signals on channels in any one of a plurality of different frequency bands.
