The radio-frequency signal frequency conversion device generates
intermediate complex signals (IF) for a correlation stage of a low power
RF receiver. In order to do this, the device includes a first selective
pass-band filter for filtering radio-frequency signals picked up by an
antenna. A frequency synthesizer generates first and second high
frequency signals, wherein the frequency of the first signals is higher
than the frequency of the second signals. This synthesizer receives
reference signals from an oscillator unit. A first mixer unit mixes the
radio-frequency signals with the first signals in order to generate
frequency-converted signals. A second pass-band filter filters the
signals from the first mixer unit, and provides signals to a second mixer
unit to mix them with the second high frequency signals. Finally, shaping
means for the signals provided by the second mixer unit generate the
intermediate signals. The second filter is a not very selective active
filter, which is integrated, in an RF/IF integrated circuit with the
first and second mixer units, the signal shaping means, and certain parts
of the synthesizer and the oscillator unit.
