  • Apparatus for the self healing of the gain of broadband receivers
    Patent number: 8594600
    Abstract: An integrated RF device includes at least one RF amplifier configured to be electrically coupled alternatively to a selected one of a RF signal input and a RF test source. A first mixer stage includes a first local oscillator and is electrically coupled to the at least one RF amplifier. At least one second mixer stage includes a second local oscillator and is electrically is coupled to the first mixer. The at least one baseband amplifier is electrically coupled to the second mixer. At least a selected one of the RF amplifier and the baseband amplifier has at least one actuator and at least one actuator terminal configured to provide an actuator setting. A method to self-heal an integrated RF receiver device is also described.
