The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for directly sampling RF signals. In some implementations, an RF reader includes a clock generator and an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC). The clock generator is configured to generate a sample clock signal based, at least in part, on an input signal associated with transmitting RF signals. The ADC is configured to directly sample RF signals in a receive path of the reader using the sample clock signal to generate a digital signal. Mixing of the RF signal and the sample clock, through the sampling process in the ADC, reduces phase noise associated with the transmission signal in the receive path.
