Abstract:
A radio frequency (RF) circuit includes a signal path coupled between two RF inputs and at least one baseband output terminal. The signal path includes a 90° hybrid coupler including a first port that receives a first RF signal and a second port that receives a second RF signal. The 90° hybrid coupler generates a first coupler output signal based on the first RF signal and the second RF signal and generates a second coupler output signal based on the first RF signal and the second RF signal. The signal path includes a quadrature down-converter configured to down-convert the first coupler output signal into a first baseband signal and down-convert the second coupler output signal into a second baseband signal. The RF circuit includes a baseband combiner circuit configured to combine the first baseband signal and the second baseband signal to generate at least one of output signal.
