Direct conversion radios can also be designed for broadband operation, which allows support of multiband applications. The advantages of a direct conversion/VLIF approach are clear, paving the way for ...

Direct Conversion The direct conversion (DC) receiver has seen a resurgence in use since many software defined radios use this as a front end before digitizing the signal.

Multiple-conversion superhets ease filter responses by splitting downconversion from RF to baseband into two or more stages ( Figure 2 ). Dividing voltage gain among multiple stages also improves ...

Analog Devices Unveils Direct Conversion Receiver Development Platform for Radar Systems AD-FMCOMMS6-EBZ supports key L- and S-band frequency radar bands.

However, direct conversion receiver ICs have only recently met the level of performance required for basestations. However, the relentless drive to reduce the cost of next generation basestations ...

The receiver integrates the AD9652 dual 16-bit A/D converter, ADL5566 RF/IF dual differential amplifier and ADL5380 quadrature demodulator. A complete design support package is available for the ...

The CMX994 direct-conversion receiver targets next generation multi-mode software defined radios (SDRs). Features include a VCO for VHF applications, an operating frequency range of 100 MHz to 1 ...

Careful analysis of the RF circuit reveals something clever. As expected, it’s a 3.18 GHz oscillator, but how is it functioning as both transmitter and receiver?
