^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 9) The RF Tuner (RF_TUNER) class includes controls for common features of
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 10) devices having RF tuner.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 11)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 12) In this context, RF tuner is radio receiver circuit between antenna and
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 13) demodulator. It receives radio frequency (RF) from the antenna and
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 14) converts that received signal to lower intermediate frequency (IF) or
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 15) baseband frequency (BB). Tuners that could do baseband output are often
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 16) called Zero-IF tuners. Older tuners were typically simple PLL tuners
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 17) inside a metal box, while newer ones are highly integrated chips
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 18) without a metal box "silicon tuners". These controls are mostly
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 19) applicable for new feature rich silicon tuners, just because older
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 20) tuners does not have much adjustable features.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 43) Filter(s) on tuner signal path are used to filter signal according
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 44) to receiving party needs. Driver configures filters to fulfill
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 45) desired bandwidth requirement. Used when
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 46) V4L2_CID_RF_TUNER_BANDWIDTH_AUTO is not set. Unit is in Hz. The
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 47) range and step are driver-specific.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 59) The RF amplifier is the very first amplifier on the receiver signal
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 60) path, just right after the antenna input. The difference between the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 61) LNA gain and the RF gain in this document is that the LNA gain is
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 62) integrated in the tuner chip while the RF gain is a separate chip.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 63) There may be both RF and LNA gain controls in the same device. The
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 64) range and step are driver-specific.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 66) ``V4L2_CID_RF_TUNER_LNA_GAIN (integer)``
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 67) LNA (low noise amplifier) gain is first gain stage on the RF tuner
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 68) signal path. It is located very close to tuner antenna input. Used
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 69) when ``V4L2_CID_RF_TUNER_LNA_GAIN_AUTO`` is not set. See
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 70) ``V4L2_CID_RF_TUNER_RF_GAIN`` to understand how RF gain and LNA gain
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 71) differs from the each others. The range and step are
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 72) driver-specific.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 73)

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 75) Mixer gain is second gain stage on the RF tuner signal path. It is
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 76) located inside mixer block, where RF signal is down-converted by the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 77) mixer. Used when ``V4L2_CID_RF_TUNER_MIXER_GAIN_AUTO`` is not set.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 78) The range and step are driver-specific.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 79)

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 81) IF gain is last gain stage on the RF tuner signal path. It is
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 82) located on output of RF tuner. It controls signal level of
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 83) intermediate frequency output or baseband output. Used when
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 84) ``V4L2_CID_RF_TUNER_IF_GAIN_AUTO`` is not set. The range and step
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 85) are driver-specific.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 87) ``V4L2_CID_RF_TUNER_PLL_LOCK (boolean)``
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 88) Is synthesizer PLL locked? RF tuner is receiving given frequency
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 89) when that control is set. This is a read-only control.
