A word of advice: If you see an old direct satellite TV dish put out to the curb, grab it before the trash collector does. Like microwave ovens, satellite dishes are an e-waste wonderland, and just ...

Side-stepping traditional laser local oscillator down-conversion techniques, Australian engineers are using acoustic interactions to retrieve frequency and phase information from Gbit/s modulated ...

The ADL5812 uses revolutionary new broadband, square wave limiting, local oscillator (LO) amplifiers to achieve an unprecedented radio frequency (RF) bandwidth of 700 MHz to 2800 MHz. Unlike ...

The circuit shown in Figure 1 is a 10 MHz to 6 GHz wideband active mixer with a direct interface to a frequency synthesizer-based low phase noise local oscillator (LO). This circuit offers an optimum ...

The master timing control circuit for most electronic applications is a precision signal source. For digital applications, it’s an accurate clock. In RF applications, it’s a carrier source for a ...

A greatly simplified block diagram of an atomic frequency standard (also called an atomic clock) is shown in Figure 2.1. This consists of an atomic resonator, a local oscillator, and additional ...

Parametric oscillators are a type of driven harmonic oscillator that are based on a nonlinear process in a resonant cavity, which are widely used in various areas of physics. In the past, parametric ...

In a superheterodyne radio, a local oscillator is an electronic circuit that generates a frequency based on the desired channel. The output of the oscillator is the channel frequency typically added ...
