Question 1

What is the primary function of up-conversion in RF mixers?

  • To convert higher frequencies to lower
  • To translate lower frequencies to higher for transmission
  • To stabilize frequency signals

💡 Hint: Think about why signals are processed before they're sent over the air.

Question 2

True or False: Down-conversion is used to simplify the processing of high-frequency RF signals.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the advantages of working with lower frequencies.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A RF mixer is supporting communications to transmit at 5.4 GHz. If the Intermediate Frequency is set at 450 MHz, what Local Oscillator frequency is required?

💡 Hint: Use the relationship fRF = fIF + fLO to solve.

Question 2

A receiver needs to down-convert a received RF signal of 1.2 GHz using an LO of 1.1 GHz. What will be the Intermediate Frequency and explain the significance of that frequency in communication?

💡 Hint: Remember the main purpose of down-conversion.
