Hi,
I have an SA612AN DBM and I want to use it as a doubler, i.e feed the LO signal to both the RF in as well as the LO in.
I have two questions:
1. Which signals will be suppressed at the IF (output) as it is a DBM? The LO? The RF? Or both?
2. I guess the LO must be of higher power relative to the RF input signal. How much higher, so that to avoid the RF switching the transistors instead?
