ABSTRACT:
A direct conversion FM receiver that comprises a quadrature mixer, an A to D converter, a digital demodulator, a digital phase lock loop, and frequency offset setting means is disclosed. The quadrature mixer receives FM signals and mixes them with a local oscillator signal to produce an analog in-phase baseband signal and an analog quadrature baseband signal. The analog in-phase baseband signal and the analog quadrature baseband signal are converted into digital signals by the A to D converter. The digitally converted baseband and quadrature signals are digitally demodulated and filtered by the digital demodulator such that modulation information is produced. The modulation information is used, at least in part, to control the phase lock loop means. In addition, the phase lock loop is offset by the frequency offsetting means such that the desensing components of the analog devices are minimized, thus, substantially reducing the need for tight component tolerance of DC sensing components and the need for manufacturing adjustments of DC desensing components.
