Abstract

An RF receiver having a coupling capacitor connected between the back end of the receiver and the input to a data limiter circuit, a battery saver strobe feature which periodically turns the receiver ON and OFF and a precharge circuit for precharging the coupling capacitor. The receiver further includes a reference voltage stabilization circuit which prevents a received signal from reaching the output of the back end of the receiver during the precharging of the coupling capacitor in order to minimize the voltage offsets from the desired unmodulated carrier frequency reference voltage which results in erroneous data being decoded by the decoder portion of the RF receiver.
