Abstract
A low IF receiver frequency translates an input signal in quadrature related mixers, filters in respective low pass channel filters, and derotates to produce a wanted signal and its image. At switch-on, the receiver is operated as a zero IF receiver in order to determine which of the adjacent channels to the wanted channel has the smaller interferer, and the local oscillator frequency supplied to the mixers is then adjusted to bring that interferer into the channel bandwidth of the low pass channel filters.
