Abstract:
1. A direct conversion receiver having a direct current offset eliminating function which directly down-converts a received radio frequency signal, the direct conversion receiver comprising: an oscillator for generating a local frequency signal; a first phase shifter for shifting a phase of the local frequency signal from the oscillator by 90°; a first frequency mixer for mixing the received radio frequency signal and the local frequency signal from the oscillator; a first low pass filter for low-pass filtering on output signal of the first frequency mixer; a second phase shifter for shifting a phase of the received radio frequency signal by 90°; a second frequency mixer for mixing output signals of the first and second phase shifters; a second low pass filter for low-pass filtering an output signal of the second frequency mixer; a subtracter for subtracting an output signal of the second low pass filter from an output signal of the first low pass and outputting an in-phase (I) signal of the down-converted radio frequency signal where direct current (DC) components are eliminated; and wherein the output signals of the first and second frequency mixers includes a non-linear component of a plurality of degrees, and the output signals of the first and second low pass filters include direct current (DC) components of identical amplitudes and sign and include alternating current components of identical amplitude and different signs.
