Abstract

To solve the problems associated with conventional signal strength measurements utilizing homodyne receivers, the present invention is able to economically reduce the idle time power usage of a homodyne receiver by 'powering down' a part of the homodyne receiver. With certain signal modulations, the power received in each channel of the homodyne receiver is equivalent and, as a result, th estimated received signal strength measurement calculation is simplified, reducing the power usage, which can be very useful, especially in the mobile communications industry.
