Abstract

An up-converter section and a down-converter section are contained in separate respective chassis. The up-converter section and the down-converter section are linked by an IF link section having a coaxial shielding structure. As such, a high-quality Up/Down tuner can be provided which is able to reduce the mutual influence of up-converter and down-converter local oscillator circuits and the entry of external noise, without increasing the size of the Up/Down tuner.
