	Signal-amplification frequency-conversion apparatus having a common active component - Patent 4313223
		The mixer circuit 37 is comprised of a band-rejection filter (BRF) 33, having a rejection center frequency set at the frequency of the local-oscillation output, a circulator 34, a mixer diode 35, and a BPF 36, having a pass center frequency equal to the intermediate frequency.
		In this apparatus, the frequency mixer section 203 thereof is fed at a terminal 204 with the intermediate-frequency signal and at another terminal 205 with the local-oscillation signal and the signal frequency-converted at a mixer diode 201 to the transmission-signal frequency appears at a terminal 207, passing through a circulator 202.
		As seen from the input-output characteristic A or B of the mixer diode 201 in relation to the local-oscillation signal, the local-oscillation signal is totally reflected by the mixer diode 201 to appear at the terminal 207 unchanged as long as the level of the local-oscillation signal applied is low.

	Introduction to Mixers
		A fundamental reason for frequency conversion is to allow amplification of the received signal at a frequency other than the RF, or the audio, frequency.
		Conversion compression for high level mixers is specified since it sometimes provides an indication of the mixer's two tone performance and it is likely to be important in high level operation.
		ZL is the input impedance of the mixer, and

	Time and Frequency from A to Z
		Since accuracy is related to the offset from an ideal value, frequency accuracy is usually stated in terms of the frequency offset.
		Frequency drift may be in either direction (higher or lower frequency) and is not necessarily linear.
		Frequency mixers are commonly employed in frequency measurement systems (as shown in the graphic below), to convert a high frequency to a low frequency, and to obtain more measurement resolution.

	Mixer, high-frequency transmitting/receiving apparatus having the same, radarapparatus having the high-frequency ...
		In the mixer, at the end of a dielectric strip line are disposed a Schottky-barrier diode acting as a high-frequency detection element and a substrate for supplying a bias to the Schottky-barrier diode.
		By moving the movable part, the resonant frequency of the cavity resonator is caused to vary, whereby a change can be achieved in an impedance when the Schottky-barrier diode is viewed as from the dielectric strip line.
		In such a mixer as disclosed in JP-A 10-242766, an adjustment mechanism (corresponding to the cavity resonator and the movable part, as exemplified) for adjusting mixing characteristics and the transmission characteristics of the mixer is so formed as to extend from the high-frequency detection element arranged at the end of the high-frequency transmission line.

	History of Mixer Technology
		All of mixer technology in use today was mathematically known several hundred years ago and reduced to practice by 1935 when the DPDT vibrator modulator was used in low frequency amplifiers.
		The chopper function shifted the input signal up in frequency by a SPDT or a DPDT switching function performed by a set of mechanical switches (relay contacts) that were thrown rapidly between the two states by forming an oscillator using one set of contacts in series with the coil and a DC source.
		In the mixer area we have a case of vacuum tube versions being followed by discrete versions and yet the mixer is called by the name of the person who thought of it later than these versions.

	51J-4 Receiver
		The crystal frequencies for the first mixer injection are so chosen that the frequency produced by the first mixer will always fall in the 1.5 to 2.5 mc or 2.5 to 3.5 mc range of the variable i-f channel.
		On bands 4 through 30, the frequency of the heterodyning signal applied to this grid is such as to produce an output frequency which falls in one of the two variable i-f ranges, (2.5 to 1.5 mc or 3.5 to 2.5 mc), depending on which of the bands between 4 and 30 is being operated.
		The plate output frequency of this stage is then shown to be in the variable i-f spectrum on bands 4 through 30, and the output applied directly to the tuned variable i-f coils.

	Mixer 2x2 Spurious Response and IP2 Relationship - Maxim/Dallas
		This process is known as down-conversion utilizing the difference term between the mixer's RF input and local oscillator input (LO) for low-side injection (LO frequency < RF frequency) or the difference term between the mixer's LO and RF for high-side injection.
		Ideally, the mixer output signal amplitude and phase are proportional to the input signal's amplitude and phase and independent of the LO signal characteristics.
		When specifying the mixer's IP2 or 2x2 performance, it is assumed that only the fundamental RF and LO frequencies are applied to the mixer ports and that the harmonic distortion is created in the mixer alone.

	High frequency mixer circuit patent invention
		A high frequency mixer circuit is used as a down converter in which an RF signal and an LO signal are mixed to generate an IF signal, or as an up converter in which an IF signal and an LO signal are mixed to generate an RF signal.
		The high frequency mixer circuit has a wiring layout wherein wiring lines for propagating LO signals intersect only one of the wiring lines for propagating RF signals or IF signals.
		Therefore, such high frequency mixer circuits have a problem in that the isolation between different signals is reduced.

	SM 5 BSZ - Backwards fft as frequency mixer and resampler. at 90 kHz bandwidth.
		As a consequence a sine wave becomes fairly broad in case the frequency happens to be right between two fft bins as in fig.
		If the frequency is close to a frequency bin the signal will continue from the point n-1 to point 0 (which is the same as point n) without any phase discontinuity and then the spectrum becomes very narrow as in fig.1 and in particular fig.4.
		The strong signal is close to a frequency bin so the frequency cursor, the green line, sits on the white noise floor originating in the 7MHz preamplifier.

	PNA Frequency Converter Application Known Issues
		The only thing to remember is that the CW frequency for the power sweep or the CW sweep has to be within the input frequency range of the current mixer setup configuration (for calibration to stay on).
		When a mixer setup with external LO source control is saved to an instrument state file, the LO source name is saved.
		When measuring the conversion loss of a mixer where the mixer output response is going from high frequency to low frequency (reverse direction), you will see additional ripple on the measurement.

	SM 5 BSZ - The complex mixer.
		When one of the signals has a fixed frequency and constant amplitude, the complex mixer will produce either the sum frequency or the difference frequency depending on which way the 90 degree phase shift of the reference frequency is made.
		The complex mixer is used in SSB generation by the phasing method and it is also used in modern digital transmitters and receivers.
		Shifting the frequency of a complex signal by use of a complex mixer in the time domain is exactly the same as shifting the frequency along the frequency axis (x-axis) in the frequency domain.

	Consider Overall Cascaded Performance When Comparing Integrated RF Frequency Mixers to Passive Mixer Solutions - ...
		Because a mixer's linearity performance is directly related to the LO drive level, rather large LO injection signals must be generated and then routed on the PC board to the passive mixer's LO port.
		Because the integrated mixer has gain, an external IF amplifier stage is not needed to make up for the loss that's required when using a passive mixer.
		For integrated mixers with superb noise figure performance such as Maxim's MAX9993, MAX9981, and MAX9982, less RF gain is needed ahead of the mixer stage, which translates to better overall receiver linearity performance.
