Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving a radio frequency (RF) signal having a carrier wave component that operates at a carrier frequency within a millimeter wave spectrum. The RF signal also includes an information component based on a phase shift keying (PSK) modulation of the carrier wave component. A local oscillator (LO) signal is obtained, which includes an LO frequency that approximates the carrier frequency. The received RF signal and the LO signal are combined without using signal multiplication to obtain a first combined output signal. The first combined output signal being detected via a non-linear energy detector to obtain a first detected signal. The first output signal includes information of the information component. Other embodiments are disclosed.
