Abstract
An electrical circuit for providing an output signal based on a first input signal and a second input signal has: a mixer which is configured to receive and mix the first and second input signals in order to generate a mixer output signal and to switch on or off based on the first input signal, wherein a DC signal component of the mixer output signal depends on whether the mixer is switched on or off; and a downstream circuit which is configured to switch on or off based on the DC signal component of the mixer output signal and to provide the output signal based on the mixer output signal.
Claims21
An electrical circuit, comprising:
- a mixer configured to receive and mix a first input signal and a second input signal to generate a mixer output signal and to switch on or off based on the first input signal, wherein a DC signal component of the mixer output signal depends on whether the mixer is switched on or off;
- and
- a downstream circuit configured to switch on or off based on the DC signal component the mixer output signal and to provide an output signal based on the mixer output signal.
A method, comprising:
- receiving a first input signal and a second input signal,
- switching a mixer on or off based on the first input signal,
- mixing the first input signal and the second input signal in order to generate a mixer output signal, wherein a DC signal component of the mixer output signal depends on whether the mixer is switched on or off,
- switching a downstream circuit on or off based on the DC signal component of the mixer output signal, and
- providing an output signal based on the mixer output signal.
