Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given an RF signal at 100 MHz and a local oscillator at 90 MHz, what will be the output frequencies produced by a mixer?

💡 Hint: Remember to add and subtract the frequencies to find both outputs.

Challenge 2 Hard

Analyze how different conversion losses impact the performance of a passive mixer vs. an active mixer in pulling signals.

💡 Hint: Consider the implications of losses in terms of overall functionality.
