9 Filter-Mixer Plots

By default, all 24 stages are plotted on the “Mixer-LO Plot” worksheet, as shown in Figure 16. Unused stages can easily be removed by right-clicking in the plot area and selecting the “Source Data…” option. The resulting dialog window is shown in Figure 17. Note that because the LO (75 MHz) is inside the total calculated band (50-100 MHz), part (half in this case) of the response is “reflected” or “folded” about the 0 Hz axis.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
