Mixers with a plurality of local oscillators and systems based thereon

摘要

A receiver apparatus including a main input for receiving the input signal and a first standard mixer having a first mixer input, a first local oscillator input, and a first mixer output. The first mixer input is connected to the main input and the first local oscillator input is connected to a source that provides a first local oscillator signal having a frequency close to or equal to the carrier frequency. The apparatus further including a second mixer with a second mixer input, a second local oscillator input, and a second mixer output. The second mixer input is connected to the main input and the second local oscillator input is connected to a source that provides a second local oscillator signal with an undesired sideband frequency. There are circuit for super-positioning the first output signal and the second output signal. The first local oscillator signal and the second local oscillator signal are square-wave signals.
