Abstract
An apparatus for a direct down-conversion of modulated RF signals, the device including: a first power detector connected between an input port for the modulated RF signal and ground, which outputs a first DC signal, a second power detector connected between an input port for a local oscillator signal and ground, which outputs a second DC signal, the local oscillator signal having the same center frequency as the modulated RF signal, and a third power detector connected between the input port for the modulated RF signal and the input port for the local oscillator signal, which outputs a third DC signal.
