In this paper a study on different architectures of IF receivers is presented. Existing architectures are compared to suggest the most suitable one for low-voltage low-power wireless applications. Due to limitation of portable equipments, e.g. limited battery life, the main focus lies on the power consumption and integration capability. To have a more practical comparison, the feasibility of removing unnecessary blocks as well as integrating external blocks and components are investigated.
