Wireless polar receiver using two injection-locked oscillator stages for green radios

Summary form only given, as follows. This paper presents a novel polar receiver that utilizes two injection-locked oscillators (ILO) stages to extract the modulation envelope and phase components from a received non-constant envelope modulation signal without using carrier recovery circuitry. Owing to its simplicity, the proposed receiver has great potential as an energy-efficient architecture with low cost for green radio applications.
