Abstract

In a television receiver in which image frequency signals for desired signals are removed when television broadcasting signals are frequency-converted through a local oscillator and mixers, the local oscillator generates biaxial orthogonal signals to be frequency-converted by respective mixers, an output signal of one mixer being phase-shifted to be added to an output signal of the other mixer so as to thereby offset only the image frequency signals. The local oscillator and a phase shifter operate so as to follow the frequency change of the intermediate frequency signal so as to thereby stabilize the suppression of the image frequency signal.
