  • Minimum-time signal leakage detector
    Patent number: 9291658
    Abstract: A device can include a radio frequency (RF) signal input, a local oscillator (LO) signal input, a mixer to receive the RF signal and LO signal and translate a frequency of the RF signal based on the LO signal, a strobe pulsing component to provide a timed strobe pulse, and a second mixer to receive a leakage signal, LO signal, and timed strobe pulse, and also to translate a frequency of the leakage signal to baseband. The device can also include a coupling component configured to allow the leakage signal to pass between the mixers. An output signal output can provide a measured value of the leakage signal.
