Circuit with variable-capacitance diode tuning Since it is only necessary to tune the local-oscillator coil, it is very simple to modify the circuit of Fig.1 for variable- capacitance diode tuning. The modifications are shown in
Fig.14. A circuit board layout for the modified receiver and a photograph of a complete laboratory model are shown in .Fig. 15

The TDA7000 can also be used for reception of narrow-
band fm. signals. In this case, the local-osciflator is crystal-
controfled as shown in Fig.16 and there is therefore hardly
any compression of the i.f. swing by the FLL. The deviation of
the transmitted carrier frequency due to modulation must
therefore be limited to prevent severe distortion
of , the demodulated audio signal.
The component values in Fig.16 result in an i.f. of 4.5 kHz and an if. bandwidth of 5 kHz (Fig. 17). If the i.f.
is multiplied by N, the values of capacitors C l -L and C18 in the all-pass filters and the values of filter capacitors C7, C8, C 10, C l 1, and C 12 must be multiplied by l /N. For improved i.f. selectivity to achieve greater adjacent channel attenuation, second-order networks can be used in place of Clo and Cl 1.
In this circuit the detuning noise generator is not used. Since the circuit is mainly for reception of audio signals, the audio output must be passed through a low-pass Chebyshev filter to suppress i.f. harmonics.
