You are absolutely right about the limitations of the RF port, I’m planning on swapping the RF/IF ports as you suggest. The SV1AFN upconverter uses the ADE-1 successfully in this configuration to get great results in the very low frequency band.
Thanks for the advice, I like your idea about filtering the harmonics out of the digital clock however I think I’ll use this as an excuse to learn how to design a proper analog PLL oscillator. I’m on the hunt for a good book or online resources.
Thanks for your help with this. I think I understand what you’re saying but I don’t have much experience with PLLs, can you clarify what you mean by ‘conventional’. If I was to build a Colpitts oscillator for 312.5 MHz, what type of PLL would be appropriate to stabilize it?
As an aside, I'm...
I’m attempting to design and build an upconverter that will mix LF (100-150 khz) signals with a 312.5 Mhz local oscillator and transmit the signal a short distance to a receiver. I have decided to use the ADE-1 mixer from mini circuits which is a level 7 mixer, requiring 7dbm to adequately bias...
