Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

If an RF signal of 2 GHz is mixed with a local oscillator of 500 MHz, calculate the sum and difference frequencies and discuss their significance in a communication system.

💡 Hint: Use the formulas we derived earlier.

Challenge 2 Hard

A mixer produces a difference frequency of 300 MHz after mixing. If the local oscillator frequency is 1 GHz, what are the possible RF frequencies?

💡 Hint: Analyze both scenarios with the difference frequency.
