The RF Tuner (RF_TUNER) class includes controls for common features of devices

In this context, RF tuner is radio receiver circuit between antenna and
|
||||
demodulator. It receives radio frequency (RF) from the antenna and converts that
|
||||
received signal to lower intermediate frequency (IF) or baseband frequency (BB).
|
||||
Tuners that could do baseband output are often called Zero-IF tuners. Older
|
||||
tuners were typically simple PLL tuners inside a metal box, whilst newer ones
|
||||
are highly integrated chips without a metal box "silicon tuners". These controls
|
||||
are mostly applicable for new feature rich silicon tuners, just because older
|
||||
tuners does not have much adjustable features.
