Mixers

There are many articles on the basics of mixers on the web see for example and the following article on mixers in radio communications. Some useful mixer terms that are important in the design of mixers can be found in this reference from MINI-CIRCUITS.

MINICIRCUITS also put out a "how-to-select" information abd even a "Q&A" guide.

The mixer to be used in the project is the SBL-1.
