Abstract
A received signal strength indicator operating at low intermediate of zero intermediate frequency is provided. The received signal strength indicator forms absolute values from an in-phase signal component and a quadrature signal component of a low or zero intermediate frequency signal that represents a received radio frequency signal. The absolute values are added. Logarithmic signal processing is performed either before absolute signal forming or after adding. Finally, low pass filtering is performed.
