ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The IF section of a television receiver includes an amplifier having an input terminal for receiving an IF signal and an output terminal at which an amplified version of the IF signal is developed and a SAW filter having two input terminals for receiving the amplified IF signal, one of the input terminals being connected to AC signal ground and having an output terminal for providing a modified IF signal having a bandpass characteristic determined by the SAW filter. An impedance transformation network is coupled between the output terminal of the amplifier and the input terminal of the SAW filter for increasing the effective load impedance of the amplifier and for decreasing the output impedance of the drive arrangement. The former aspect of the impedance transformation network allows a transistor with lower current supplying capabilities to be employed. The latter aspect of the impedance transformation network tends to reduce undesired voltages developed in response to reflections between the transducers of the SAW filter. Specifically, the impedance transformation network includes an inductor connected between the output terminal of the amplifier and the AC signal ground, a capacitor connected between the output terminal of the amplifier and the input terminal of the SAW filter and a resistor connected between the input terminal of the SAW filter and the AC signal ground. Desirably, the capacitance of the capacitor is in the same order of magnitude as the input capacitance of the SAW filter and the inductance of the inductor is selected to provide a resonance with the effective capacitance in the passband.
