ABSTRACT:
A search type tuning device wherein the output signal representing the difference frequency between the output frequency from a voltage-controlled frequency sweep oscillator and a reference frequency is filtered by a low-pass filter; the difference between the output voltage from the low-pass filter and a predetermined driving voltage for sweeping the oscillation frequency of the oscillator is derived from an adder; the output from the adder is integrated by an integrator; and the output voltage from the integrator is applied as a sweep voltage to the oscillator, thereby automatically maintaining the oscillation frequency thereof at a predetermined value. The analysis of the operation of the oscillator may be much facilitated, and when used as an automatic channel selector for a television receiver, a high speed automatic channel selection may be ensured.
