Question 1

What is the main purpose of RF-LO isolation?

To measure output power
To prevent RF interference with the LO
To measure signal gain

💡 Hint: Think about what can happen if these signals interact.

Question 2

True or False: RF-IF isolation ensures that RF signals can easily contaminate the IF output.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given an RF signal of +15 dBm and a local oscillator of +10 dBm, calculate the LO-IF isolation if the measured IF output is +5 dBm.

💡 Hint: Remember the isolation formula involving output and input powers.

Challenge 2 Hard

Discuss the potential consequences for an RF receiver if the RF-IF isolation is measured at only 10 dB instead of the ideal 25 dB.

💡 Hint: What does low isolation imply for unsuspected signals?
