Abstract
A system and method of frequency conversion or demodulation can be used in wireless environments. A demodulator or frequency converter can include a forward mixer path including an amplifier, a first mixer, a first input, a second input, and a first output. The forward mixer path can be configured to receive a first radio frequency signal at the first input, receive an oscillator signal at the second input and provide a baseband signal. The first mixer can configured to provide a gain.
