Re: Can a downconversion mixer be used as an upconversion mi
Here is how:
The fixed IF oscillator is mixed with the transmit RF to give the receive LO which might have freqs RF+IF or RF-IF. The received signal is only RF.
This is why I want to know if I should be concerned on eliminating the...
Re: Can a downconversion mixer be used as an upconversion mi
Thanks for the help,
Another question:
Can an Image Rejection Mixer also be used as an Single Sideband Upconverter if there are no filters and the frequency ranges are right ?
Also, if I have a situation like this:
I want to...
Just a basic theorical question:
Can a downconversion mixer be used as an upconversion mixer by just switching the input/output ports ? (assuming the frequency ranges of all the ports are respected)
i.e. RF = 2-20 GHz, LO = 2-20GHz, IF = 0-2 GHz
Downconversion i.e. RF = 20 GHz, LO = 19 GHz...
Hello, I'm new to RF design, I just have a couple of basic questions that need to be answered!
1 - Do IQ Mixers generally work better with higher or lower RF and LOs ? By this I mean which will work better: Option 1 where RF=LO= 70MHz, or Option 2 where RF=LO=2GHz ?
2- Does downconverting work...
