Abstract
A radio frequency receiver comprising mixer circuitry to down-convert a received signal, which is transported on a signal line to baseband signal components, is provided. The mixer circuitry comprises a plurality of switched capacitors, each connected to the signal line through a signal side node and to a corresponding switch through a switch side node. In this context, a voltage is sensed at each switch side node of the plurality of switched capacitors and is read out through a respective grounded capacitor.
