Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

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.

Challenge 2 Hard

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.
