`
`ABSTRACT
`(57)
`Methods, systems, and apparatuses, and combinations and
`sub-combinations thereof, for down-converting an electro-
`magnetic (EM) signal are described herein. Briefly stated, in
`embodiments the invention operates by receiving an EM sig-
`nal and recursively operating on approximate half cycles (1/2 ,
`11/2 , 21/2 , etc) of the carrier signal. The recursive operations
`can be performed at a sub-harmonic rate of the carrier signal.
`The invention accumulates the results of the recursive opera-
`tions and uses the accumulated results to form a down-con-
`verted signal. In an embodiment, the EM signal is down-
`converted to an intermediate frequency (IF) signal. In another
`embodiment, the EM signal is down-converted to a baseband
`information signal. In another embodiment, the EM signal is
`a frequency modulated (FM) signal, which is down-converted
`to a non-FM signal, such as a phase modulated (PM) signal or
`an amplitude modulated (AM) signal.
