A method and system for directly down-converting FM signals to demodulated
baseband information signals that can be used to directly down-convert
analog FM signals and digital FM signals to demodulated baseband
information signals. In an embodiment, the method includes aliasing an FM
signal at an aliasing rate substantially equal to the frequency of the FM
signal or substantially equal to a sub-harmonic thereof; adjusting the
aliasing rate in accordance with frequency changes on the FM signal to
maintain the aliasing rate substantially equal to the frequency of the FM
signal, and outputting a demodulated baseband information signal. The
method optionally includes compensating for phase delays and/or other
characteristics of the loop in order to maintain bandwidth and stability
for the loop.
