A two-port millimeter-wave demodulation device is particularly adapted for wireless 60 GHz transmission systems. The device for the downconversion and demodulation of a modulated RF signal does not comprise a mixing stage. The RF signal to be downconverted is supplied to a linear two-port device having a single power sensor connected to the output of the two-port device. The two-port device comprises a three-port junction having two inputs and one output connected to the power sensor. One input of the three-port junction is supplied to the RF signal and the other input of the three-port junction is supplied (without switching) with a further RF signal originating either from a local oscillator or with a signal derived from the RF signal to be downconverted.

According to the present invention a method and a receiver for high-frequency signals is provided. The receiver comprises a power divider (4) to divide a modulated RF input signal in at least two branches. At least one delay line (5, 6) provides for a delay of the branches relatively to each other by a predetermined delay constant. A calculation circuit (7, 8) calculates at least three power levels based on combinations (12, 13, 14) of the two branches of the input signal relatively delayed (5, 6) to each other. A processing means (10) calculates the phase and the amplitude of a complex signal representing the relation between the two branches of the input signal relatively delayed to each other, on the basis of the said at least three power levels (8). The invention therefore provides for a direct 6-port receiver based on non-coherent detection. The concept of the invention is inherently cheap and features high integration ability and low-cost processes. Ideally the whole RF front end can be placed on one chip.
