Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Consider a passive mixer with a conversion loss of 6 dB. If the RF input is -10 dBm, calculate the expected IF output power. Discuss the implications of the conversion loss.

💡 Hint: Apply the conversion loss relationship.

Challenge 2 Hard

A high-performance mixer has a specified IP3 of +15 dBm and a conversion gain of +10 dB. Calculate the input power level that leads to intermodulation distortion and analyze its impact on signal clarity.

💡 Hint: Understand the IP3 relationship.
