be introduced with or without modulation, provided its level
is sufficiently high to saturate the upper quad differential
amplifier. If the carrier signal is modulated, a 300 mVrms
input level is recommended.
Doubly Balanced Mixer
The MC1496 may be used as a doubly balanced mixer
with either broadband or tuned narrow band input and output
networks.
The local oscillator signal is introduced at the carrier input
port with a recommended amplitude of 100 mVrms.
Figure 29 shows a mixer with a broadband input and a
tuned output.
Frequency Doubler
The MC1496 will operate as a frequency doubler by
introducing the same frequency at both input ports.
Figures 30 and 31 show a broadband frequency doubler
and a tuned output very high frequency (VHF) doubler,
respectively.
Phase Detection and FM Detection
The MC1496 will function as a phase detector. High−level
input signals are introduced at both inputs. When both inputs
are at the same frequency the MC1496 will deliver an output
which is a function of the phase difference between the two
input signals.
An FM detector may be constructed by using the phase
detector principle. A tuned circuit is added at one of the
inputs to cause the two input signals to vary in phase as a
function of frequency. The MC1496 will then provide an
output which is a function of the input signal frequency.
