A broadband integrated receiver for receiving input signals and outputting composite video and audio signals is disclosed. The receiver employs an up-conversion mixer and a down-conversion mixer in series to produce an intermediate signal. An intermediate filter between the mixers performs coarse channel selection. The down-conversion mixer may be an image rejection mixer to provide additional filtering.

A broadband integrated television receiver for receiving a standard antenna or cable input and outputting an analog composite video signal and composite audio signal is disclosed. The receiver employs an up-conversion mixer and a down-conversion mixer in series to produce an IF signal. An IF filter between the mixers performs coarse channel selection. The down-conversion mixer may be an image rejection mixer to provide additional filtering. The received RF television signals are converted to a standard 45.75 MHz IF signal for processing on-chip by additional circuitry.

A radio base station apparatus provided with an array antenna having a plurality of antenna elements for calibrating a phase difference among the array antenna elements. The base station has a probe signal adding unit which divides one probe signal and adds the divided probe signals to each receive signals received by the plurality of antenna elements. A probe data extracting unit extracts the probe data from the receive signals added with the probe signal. A phase calibration calculation unit calculates correlating phase calibration values required for calibrating a phase of each receive signal based on the probe data extracted by the probe signal extracting unit. A phase calibration unit calibrates a phase difference among the array antenna elements by calibrating the phase of the each receive signal based on the phase calibration from the phase calibration calculation unit.

A compact RF monopulse receiver circuit having a relatively low noise figure which is particularly useful for operation in the millimeter wave frequency range is described. The compact monopulse receiver finds use in small projectile and small missile applications. Also, a combination of transmit signal protection circuitry and receiver circuit architecture allows the RF monopulse receiver circuit to operate in a missile or other projectile which utilizes high RF power transmit signals. The RF monopulse receiver circuit can directly provide a radiation pattern for target detection and tracking or alternatively, the RF monopulse receiver circuit can function as a monopulse feed circuit which can be used, for example, in a quasi-optically fed reflector antenna.
