摘要: A receiver includes an input section, a plurality of RF sections, an output circuit, and a controller. The input section receives and amplifies a radio frequency (RF) input signal to provide an amplified RF signal, and has a gain input. The plurality of RF sections each have an input for receiving the amplified RF signal, and an output for providing an intermediate frequency signal. The output circuit provides an intermediate frequency output signal in response to an output of at least one of the plurality of RF sections. The controller has an output coupled to the gain input of the input section.

摘要: A receiver (400) includes a tracking bandpass filter (420), a tunable lowpass filter (434), a local oscillator (442), and a mixer (444). The tracking bandpass filter (420) has an input for receiving a radio frequency (RF) input signal, and an output. The tunable lowpass filter (434) has an input coupled to the output of the tracking bandpass filter (420), and an output. The local oscillator (422) has a first output for providing a local oscillator signal, which is characterized as being a square wave signal at the desired intermediate frequency (IF). The mixer (444) has a first input coupled to the output of the tunable lowpass filter (434), a second input coupled to the output of the local oscillator (442), and a first output for providing an IF signal at the desired IF. The tunable lowpass filter (434) is configured to substantially attenuate a third harmonic of the frequency of the local oscillator signal.
