    Intermediate Frequency Amplifier

    Thank you for the explanation Frank, my thought process was similar to what you've just said but I wasn't sure enough to try it, James

    Intermediate Frequency Amplifier

    Sorry, it is connected, I was a bit slack with the schematic. You're right, when I adjust the pots so the input resistor is too low they do begin to oscillate. Am I better off having a small gain for the first stage then increasing the gain in subsequent stages? Or will the noise introduction be...

    Intermediate Frequency Amplifier

    Ah sorry I forgot to include that in the schematic. I have a 10u cap to ground at that junction. And a 10u and 100n between V+ and ground. Thanks!

    Intermediate Frequency Amplifier

    Hi all, I am working on designing an IF amplifier using opamps and just need some guidance as to whether I am on the right track as this is not one of my areas of expertise. The input signal is from a frequency mixer, fed by frequencies of approximately 2.45GHz. I am only interested in...

    Mixer Isolation Question

    Thanks for the help, I'll "plug" it into ADS and see how it looks

    Mixer Isolation Question

    That is great news, thanks for your help. Can I assume the same will apply with a circulator, i.e: if my received signal (approx -85 dBm) is at a slightly different frequency to the transmitted signal, will the receiver still receive the different freqeuncy even though approximately 10dBm will...

    Mixer Isolation Question

    Hi there. I want to use a frequency mixer with a LO power of 6 dBm and an expected RF input of -60 dBm. If the specified LO-RF isolation is 35 dB, what would be the effect of this insufficient isolation? Would there still be an IF output of |Frf-Flo| at a lower power or would this not be seen...
