ABSTRACT:
A receiver circuit, particularly an integrated, zero IF receiver circuit in which a direct conversion IF stage is separated from an antenna by a further fequency conversion stage which is AC coupled to the direct conversion IF stage. A single crystal oscillator generates a frequency which is multiplied prior to being applied as a local oscillator signal to the further frequency conversion stage and is used to produce another frequency, which is divided to block harmonics, prior to being applied as quadrature related local oscillator signals to the direct conversion IF stage. The direct coversion IF stage includes several dc nulling for compensating for dc offsets.
