b) Name another disadvantage of such a mixer circuit.
Solution:
a) Because the mixer outputs become four (4) including the two input
frequencies, the sum and the difference of them. Actually we need only the
difference output frequency (Offset – Input) and the lowpass filter will help
to filter aways the higher three output frequencies.
b) Name another disadvantage of such a mixer circuit (page 97-98)
- The mixer multiplies the wanted frequency shift but also other frequency
shifts (origiral, sum, etc.). This includes noises and heating.
- If the input frequency comes down and the difference frequency will
increases up and may be filtered aways by the low pass filter.
- The design of the mixer is complecated.
- The circuit may produce more ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI)
