Frequency bandwidth of an RF Mixer is the frequency range where the Mixer is operational, and meets the specifications for Conversion Loss or Gain.
The 3 ports of the Mixer (RF, LO and IF) usually have limited frequency range, which is specified by the manufacturer.
in a zero-IF receiver, for an active Mixer,what is the Mixer bandwidth?
you mean that during the change of RF and LO fuequency(zero IF),the Mixer gain change 3dB, the bandwidth means the frequency range changes at RF or LO port?
if Mixer work in a zero-IF receiver system, its bandwith is zero, or is the frequency range as mentioned above?
thanks a lot. you mean in a zero-RF receiver, if the RF range is 1GHz so the LO port also have to operate during that 1 GHz range to produce zero IF freqency. if during this frequency range the Mixer can work with gain. so the bandwidth is 1GHz? 'with gain' means gain change 3dB during the frequency range?
Added after 2 minutes:
and I want to know how to simulate Mixer bandwidth with Spectre RF simulator.
