Convert LNA 433MHz Signal (21dB) to DC Voltage - Ryan's Question

[RLovelett]

My scenario:
LNA 433MHz signal (21dB) from antenna and the difference between the two signals with a 4.1dB gain. I would like to take the result of the difference amplifier an produce a DC value that is proportional to the output.

Question 1:
What type of circuit would lower the frequency to something like 50MHz?

Question 2:
What type of circuit would take the amplitude of a 50MHz sine wave signal and convert it to a DC voltage that is proportional?

Many thanks!
Ryan
