G8B11
What combination of a mixer's Local Oscillator (LO) and RF input frequencies is found in the output?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: C. The sum and difference
A mixer outputs the sum and the difference of its LO and RF input frequencies, along with the original signals. The receiver filters out the one it wants as the IF.
Tip: Mixer output = sum and difference.
