Wireless and Microwave Instructional Laboratory

Laboratory #10 Notes

The purpose of this laboratory exercise is to introduce you to the following:
1. Familiarization with frequency conversion methods
2. Mixer measurement techniques
3. The concepts of isolation and conversion loss

For this exercise you will need to turn in the following items:
1. Summmary
2. Discussion of Results
3. Printouts and Tables as Given at the end of the Laboratory Write-Up
4. Laboratory Write-Up Including Experimental Results
