混频器（mixer） mixer working frequency Mixer is a multi frequency operating device. In addition to indicating the working frequency of radio frequency signals, the application range of local oscillator and intermediate frequency should be paid attention to. Noise figure Mixer noise is defined as: NF=Pno/Pso Pno is when the input port noise temperature is at all frequencies is the standard temperature, that is, T0=290K, to transmit to the output port of the total noise power. Pno mainly includes signal source internal loss resistance thermal noise, thermal noise, shot noise and mixing device current local oscillator phase noise. Pso is the power available for noise output only at the output of the useful signal input. Frequency conversion loss The frequency conversion loss of the mixer is defined as the ratio between the microwave signal power of the mixer RF input port and the output signal power of the intermediate frequency. It is mainly caused by the loss of circuit mismatch, the intrinsic junction loss of the diode, the nonlinear conductance and the net frequency conversion loss. 1dB compression point In the normal condition, the RF input power in Pingyuan is lower than the vibration level, the intermediate frequency output with the RF input linear change, when the RF level increased to a certain extent, if output with the RF input increased to slow down the speed of mixer saturation. When the intermediate frequency output deviates from the linear 1dB, the RF input power is the 1dB compression point of the mixer. For the mixer with the same structure, 1dB compression point depends on the size and characteristics of vibration power diode, general Lo low power 6dB. dynamic range The dynamic range refers to the microwave input power range of the mixer when it is operating normally. The lower limit varies with the application environment of the mixer, and its upper limit is limited by the RF input power saturation, which usually corresponds to the 1dB compression point
