    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a linearization apparatus and method. Preferred embodiments according to the present invention can combine an auxiliary non-linear block to a functional block of a system to increase linearity of an output signal of the system such as a communication system. System overhead due to the non-linear auxiliary block can be small because of circuit structure, cost and low consumption. Further, the non-linear auxiliary block can be designed so that no feedback path is required. Further preferred embodiments can use a feedback path without loss of stability by using a cancellation apparatus or process based on an averaging detection of the output signal. For example, a feedback loop can detect power leakage in a sideband caused by non-linearities of the communication system.

    Abstract: A wireless receiver and a wireless receiving method are provided wherein a frequency of a radio frequency (RF) is down-converted into a frequency of a substantially zero intermediate frequency (IF) signal or a substantially low IF signal. The down-converted signal may be filtered by an integrated filter having a low quality factor and then up-converted again into a particular IF signal, thereby integrating an external element. For example, a receiving device may receive a RF signal in a required band. A frequency down-converting device may down-convert a frequency so that a center frequency of the RF signal becomes zero. A channel select filtering device may select a required channel from the signals whose frequency is down-converted. An IF signal converting device may up-convert a frequency of the channel selected signal into a required IF. An IF processing device may extract a baseband signal after the converted IF signal is inputted and processed. An amplifying device may amplify a signal with a gain required in a process of converting a frequency.
