Abstract: In accordance with at least one embodiment, apparatus providing a direct conversion receiver comprises a phase sampling detector (e.g., a quadrature sampling detector), which comprises a leading phase operational amplifier subsystem and a leading phase analog switch, as well as a lagging phase operational amplifier subsystem and a lagging phase analog switch. In accordance with at least one embodiment, a leading phase analog switch output terminal is coupled to a first leading phase operational amplifier input of the leading phase operational amplifier subsystem, and the leading phase analog switch output terminal is maintained continually at a ground potential. In accordance with at least one embodiment, at least one of element selected from a group consisting of: a resistor feedback switch, a commutating input switch in a resistive feedback loop, a differential capacitor, an unbiased analog switch input terminal, and an unbiased analog switch output terminal is provided.
