Frequency Mixer Circuit. Bipolar transistor rf mixer. In an active frequency mixer amplification is provided in addition to frequency conversion.
Self excited mixer the mixer circuits that uses fet or mosfet are known as the self excited mixer. Mixers are widely used to shift signals from one frequency range to another a process known as heterodyning for convenience in. Other frequency components may also be produced in a practical frequency mixer.
Frequency mixers are often implemented using a diode bridge or a gilbert cell.
Both types of mixers use a local oscillator lo to flip the polarity of the radio frequency rf input. In an active frequency mixer amplification is provided in addition to frequency conversion.
