Abstract

A device for converting a radio frequency signal directly to a baseband signal includes: a receiving section having a tuner for providing a tuned radio frequency signal and a phase-locked loop for providing a phase-locked signal in response to the tuned radio frequency signal; a frequency oscillating section having a voltage controlled oscillator for providing a specific frequency signal, with a same phase and frequency as the tuned radio frequency signal, in response to the phase-locked signal and a control voltage, and a phase comparator providing the control voltage by comparing the phase of the tuned radio frequency signal and the phase of the specific frequency signal; a baseband section for producing the baseband signal by mixing the tuned radio frequency signal and the specific frequency signal; and a gain control section generating a gain control signal fed back to the baseband section and a delayed gain control signal fed back to the receiving section.
