Figure 5.51 shows the IF spectra of a DBM operating at a LO of 7 dBm and a TBM and
HL DBM operating at a LO of 10dBm. The relationship between the spectral components
and LO and RF frequencies are shown in table 5.1.The third harmonic signal at 15 MHz
is 20 dB lower for the TBM and HL DBM, which is a significant improvement in
performance.
