Figure 5.39. RF voltage for a double Balanced Diode Mixer as an up-converter.
Figure 5.40. Construction of a DBM for use in Practical Sessions.
Figure 5.40 shows the construction of a simple home-made DBM, the transformers are
held in-place with Silicone Sealant. The diodes are conventional Schotky-Barrier diodes
that have been matched for their V-I characteristic in order to obtain the best LO
RF
isolation.
