Abstract

A local oscillation circuit for a tuner having a reduced inter-channel deviation in AFC sensitivity. The local oscillation circuit comprises a resonance circuit capable of varying a tuning frequency by means of a variable capacitive element additionally provided with a variable capacitive diode which is applied with a control voltage in dependence upon variation in the frequency detected from the output signal of the tuner, thereby to effect an automatic frequency control. A single variable capacitive diode is coupled to the variable capacitive element of the resonance circuit in a parallel and a series connections.
