Question 325

Which mixer input is varied or tuned to convert signals of different frequencies to an intermediate frequency (IF)?

  1. Image frequency
  2. Local oscillatorCorrect answer
  3. RF input
  4. Beat frequency oscillator

Explanation

A mixer produces additive and subtractive combinations of its input frequencies, so with a fixed IF the local oscillator must be tuned to place any chosen signal at that IF. The RF input frequency is set by the incoming signal and cannot be chosen.
