Abstract
A direct-conversion receiver includes a local oscillator for generating a local oscillator signal, a converter circuit for converting a received radio signal into a pair of a baseband I signal and a baseband Q signal in response to the local oscillator signal, a demodulator for demodulating the pair of the baseband I signal and the baseband Q signal into a demodulation-resultant signal which is neither an I signal nor a Q signal, a detector circuit for detecting a difference between a frequency of the local oscillator signal and a frequency of a carrier of the received radio signal, a clock signal generator for generating a first clock signal providing a timing which corresponds to a center of a symbol period, a signal delay device for delaying the first clock signal to provide a second clock signal, and a symbol deciding circuit for deciding a logic state of the demodulation-resultant signal at a timing determined by the second clock signal.
