Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9011653A1] An RF paging receiver which is tunable to channels to receive pages with the pages being transmitted in a plurality of licensed frequency bands with each band containing a plurality of FM channels in which signal strength of pages on received channels in the bands varies as a result of variable antenna gain in accordance with the invention includes a tunable antenna (12, 14) having a reception bandwidth spanning the frequency bands with the antenna being tunable in response to an antenna tuning signal to achieve maximum antenna gain for a received channel in any one of the plurality of licensed frequency bands; an RF tuner (16), coupled to the tunable antenna, for receiving individual channels from the bands in response to varying a receiver tuning signal specifying reception of one of the channels within the plurality of frequency bands, the RF tuner comprising a plurality of RF amplifiers (102, 104, and 106) with each RF amplifier.
