In a receiver, a synchronization circuit (MIX2, OSC, C1, R1) provides a set of oscillator signals (OSI, OSQ) that are synchronized with a carrier of an amplitude-modulated signal. The set of oscillator signals (OSI, OSQ) comprises a quadrature oscillator signal (OSQ), which is substantially 90° phase shifted with respect to the carrier of the amplitude-modulated signal. A quadrature mixer (MIX2) mixes the quadrature oscillator signal (OSQ) with the amplitude-modulated signal so as to obtain a quadrature mixer output signal (MO2a). A phase-error corrector (PEC) adjusts the phase of the oscillator signals in response to a variation in the magnitude of an alternating current component (AC) in the quadrature mixer output signal (MO2a). |
