The TBA120 Series ICs provide a high-gain limiting IF amplifier and a quadrature coincidence detector in one package. These ICs are primarily intended for extraction of TV intercarrier sound, which (in Europe) is frequency modulated onto a 5.5MHz or 6MHz subcarrier. The TV waveform constitutes an extreme interfering signal, and the TBA120 provides superior performance in comparison to early Foster-Seeley and Ratio Detector systems, with a considerable reduction in component count.
This is a 35.3 to 10.7 MHz converter circuit. It converts the 35.3 MHz signal coming from a VHF/UHF tuner down to an FM tuner to decode the TV audio in FM quality. The IC being used (TBA120) is one of the most common components in radio and TV circuits. Although it was designed as an RF amplifier and FM demodulator, it can also be used for many other applications.
