    摘要: A RF receiver for modulated RF signals based on a N-port junction (1) providing LO/RF isolation is proposed. N thereby is an integer larger than two, such that the N-port junction (1) can be preferably a three port, four port, five port and six port junction. The N-port junction (1) supplied with a first RF signal at a first input (2) and with a second RF signal originating from a local oscillator (2) at a second input (3). An isolation block (13) comprising an active circuitry (22) is comprised in the N-port junction for isolating the second input (3) from the first input (1). Thereby can be ensured that the LO signals are significantly attenuated at the RF port (2).

    摘要: A demodulator for modulated RF signals comprises a passive four port structure (1). The four port structure (1) has a first input (3) for supplying a modulated RF signal to be demodulated. A second input (2) is supplied with a RF signal from a local oscillator (21). Two output terminals are connected to power sensors (4, 5). The RF signal from the local oscillator (21) is supplied to the second input (3) of the four port structure (1) without being RF switched by an RF switch. The demodulator is particularly useful for modulation schemes with a finite number of magnitude states (nQAM modulation).

    摘要: A technique for calibrating a N-port receiver, such as for example a 5- or 6-port receiver is proposed. The N-port receiver (1) comprises a first input (2) for a RF signal to be detected, a second input (3) for a RF signal originating from a local oscillator (4) and N−2 output terminals. Calibrating signals are generated on the basis of the RF signal supplied by the local oscillator (4). The calibration signals are fed to the first input (2) and/or the second input (3) of the N-port receiver (1). Calibration coefficients are calculated on the basis of the output signals generated by the N-port receiver (1) in response to the feeding of the calibration signals. The calibration signals are unmodulated signals and are only processed by means of a passive RF circuitry in the calibration device (100). The solutions according to the present invention allow a simple calibration of N-port receivers, which can be used as IQ demodulators or converters. Thereby a local oscillator (4) is used as a RF source for the calibration.
