Hello,

If you want to read more about mixers, read the attached PDF's.

Bertus
thank you very much Bertus.....
i am reading one book, and in the book say, that mixer is product/detector, where is two input and one output, if output audio frequency, is this correct?

A Ring Modulator is for a Ssb transmitter, where you only transmit a carrier when you speak, or send audio, this reduces the power requirements of the rf amplifier ,and reduces the bandwidth of the signal.

The output of the Ring Modulator has two products, the Sum and the Difference of the two frequencies being converted, these are the Upper and Lower sidebands, only one sideband is transmitted , so in theory two signals can occupy the same frequency and won't interfere with each other.

In the receiver the same circuit is used and an oscillator called a BFO is used to reproduce the original Audio signal.

You need to search and study SSB radio receiver circuits further.

Hello,
The product detector’s job is to convert an incoming signal from RF frequencies to
audio frequencies. It is simply another mixer whose output is in the audio
frequency range.
Read the attached PDF.

Where do you live? How old are you? What is your electronic background?

What book are you reading?

If I give you 2 numbers.......say 22 and 20. What are the sum and difference of those two numbers?

What are the sum and difference of 4.001 MHz and 4 MHz?

Ok....those are your outputs from the mixer.
Thanks man, now i start to understand, but do you know any animation, how it demolate , for example am fm i find enough, how they work detector, for example am(i see animation of graphics in internet, how come sinewave after diode, and demulated, after filter also for fm), but for ssb i cant find. do you have any idea where can i find? any animation of graphics how they look unmodulated and demulated...

Hello,


So what would be the output signal when it is filtered by a lowpass filter?

Bertus
Hi Bertus, to say the truth i still dont know, because i am focused in mudulation and demulaation, and this new for me SSB(because i thought he work like FM)
