Abstract: In one embodiment, a circuit provides two quadrature components, I and Q, from a received modulated signal, from three mutually phase-shifted components of the received signal. The circuit can demodulate three mutually phase-shifted components of a baseband signal, in order to provide two quadrature demodulation components. The circuit includes three circuit inputs, each designed to received said three components, respectively. The circuit further includes a first and second adder circuit. The circuit also includes a bank of weighting circuits linked, at input, to the three circuit inputs and linked, at output, to the inputs of the first and second adder circuits so as to transmit to each adder input, with a determined weighting, a particular one of said three components, the weightings being chosen so that the first and second adder circuits provide said two quadrature demodulation components.

Abstract: The circuit (7) for demodulating three mutually phase-shifted components of a baseband signal, in order to provide two quadrature demodulation components (I, Q), comprises—three circuit inputs (4, 5, 6), designed to receive respectively the three components, —first and second adder circuits (77, 78) and—a bank (70) of weighting circuits (71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76) linked, at input, to the three circuit inputs (4, 5, 6) and linked, at output, to inputs of the first and second adder circuits (77, 78) so as to transmit to each adder input, with a determined weighting, a particular one of said three components, the weightings being chosen so that the first and second adder circuits (77, 78) provide the said two quadrature demodulation components (I, Q).
