Abstract: A portable device for receiving broadcast information is provided. A mixer down-converts a radio-frequency signal with a local oscillation clock to provide an intermediate frequency signal. A filter is arranged to filter the intermediate frequency signal. An analog-to-digital converter converts the filtered intermediate frequency signal into a digital signal according to a sampling rate. The broadcast information is obtained according to the digital signal. The local oscillation clock has a first frequency in a normal mode and a second frequency in a power-saving mode, and the second frequency is lower than the first frequency.

Abstract: The noise figure of a low noise amplifier (LNA) is reduced without sacrificing performance such as gain, IIP3, and wideband impedance matching. Embodiments include configuring a control module of the LNA to sum and scale an output from a current-sensing branch of the LNA and an output from a voltage sensing branch of the LNA into one or more summed and scaled outputs. The control module also feeds the one or more summed and scaled outputs back to at least one of the outputs of the branches of the LNA.
