Tayloe Quadrature Product Detector

https://www.norcalqrp.org/files/Tayloe_mixer_x3a.pdf

This simple circuit directly converts from RF down to baseband. Four square waves operating at 4×FRF4 \times F_{RF} and shifted 90° from each other control a multiplexer thus producing four quadrature signals. These can be combined to give I and Q signals. A copy of the PDF is here.

I found this while reading about the Pi Pico Rx, which uses this circuit and a Raspberry Pi Pico to make a software defined radio.
