Patent ID: 8107919

Claim:
A radio frequency (RF) wave receiver comprising: an oscillator for generating and outputting an oscillation signal from an output port thereof; a limiter for dividing the oscillation signal output from the oscillator into a branch signal at a predetermined dividing ratio and outputting the branch signal; an amplifier for amplifying the branch signal output from the limiter; a frequency multiplier for outputting a local oscillation signal having a frequency obtained by multiplying a frequency of the amplified branch signal by a predetermined multiplicand; a mixer for mixing the local oscillation signal and a signal supplied from an antenna; a band-pass filter for receiving a signal output from the mixer and outputting an intermediate frequency (IF) signal; a detector for producing a detected signal by detecting the IF signal; and a controller connected directly with the output port of the oscillator for performing an operation according to the detected signal based on the oscillation signal as a clock signal.
