Title:
RECONFIGURABLE HETERODYNE MIXER AND CONFIGURATION METHOD
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2010016829
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a reconfigurable heterodyne mixer and configuration methods.
The heterodyne mixer comprises: a divider of a signal RF for generating a signal RF1 and a signal RF2; a reference means comprising a local oscillator generating a reference signal LO; a second division means for dividing the reference signal into a reference signal LO1 and into a reference signal LO2; at least two mixture cells mixing on the one hand the signal RF1 with the reference signal LO1 so as to create an intermediate signal IF1 and on the other hand the signal RF2 with the reference signal LO2 so as to create an intermediate signal IF2; and a combiner for recombining the intermediate signal IF1 and the intermediate signal IF2 into an intermediate output signal IF. The mixer comprises at least one configurable phase-shifting device for phase-shifting a signal via a remote control.
