Abstract
A direct conversion receiver includes a local oscillator for generating a sinusoid, a mixer for receiving an incoming signal and for mixing the incoming signal with the sinusoid, an analog-to-digital converter for converting the mixed analog signal into a digital signal, and a digital signal processor for outputting the digital signal so that an I-channel signal and a Q-channel signal are output separately and for transmitting to the local oscillator a phase control signal that determines the phase of a sinusoid to be generated by the local oscillator. The direct conversion receiver may further include a low noise amplifier for amplifying the incoming while preventing noise included in the input signal from being amplified, a baseband amplifier for amplifying the mixed analog signal in a baseband, and a baseband low pass filter for removing low frequency noise from a signal amplified by the baseband amplifier.
