Abstract

An improved muting signal generation circuit of an FM receiver of the type in which the deviation of an FM detection signal relative to a predetermined level is detected. When the deviation of the FM detected signal is above or below a predetermined value, a muting signal is generated. A band elimination filter is provided for eliminating the frequency components of an information signal contained in the FM detection signal. A detuning detection circuit detects detuning in response to the output of the band elimination filter. A muting signal generation circuit generates a muting signal in response to the detection output of the detuning detection circuit.
