direct conversion receiver
Also called a "tuned radio frequency" (TRF) receiver, it is a radio receiver that detects and demodulates the carrier signal broadcast by the station without using an intermediate frequency (IF) stage. A variable filter is tuned to filter out everything but the desired radio station's carrier frequency. Along with the homodyne receiver, direct conversion was one of the earlier methods of building radios, both of which were superseded by the superheterodyne approach. See superheterodyne receiver.

In testing we now solve 90 percent of customer-supplied large and complex circuits, such as direct-conversion receivers, prescalers and complex LO generation networks, when in the past we solved roughly 50 percent of these types of circuits.
The MAX2392 is industry's first direct-conversion receiver for TD-SCDMA.
Both versions include 4 LNA inputs, integrated power-management, integrated LO (local oscillator) and transmit VCOs, fractional-N PLL (phase locked loop) synthesizer, and the full direct-conversion receiver signal path.
