In a superheterodyne radio, a local oscillator is an electronic circuit that generates a frequency based on the desired channel. The output of the oscillator is the channel frequency typically added ...

The ADL5812 uses revolutionary new broadband, square wave limiting, local oscillator (LO) amplifiers to achieve an unprecedented radio frequency (RF) bandwidth of 700 MHz to 2800 MHz. Unlike ...

The TFF100xHN family of Ku-band RF PLLs has integrated VCO intended for low phase-noise local oscillator (LO) circuits in Ku-band VSAT transmitters and transceivers. Manufactured in a high-performance ...

Modern radio receivers have a distinct advantage over the common early designs which I covered in my previous article. Most of the receivers you will have worked with over the past couple decades are ...

A word of advice: If you see an old direct satellite TV dish put out to the curb, grab it before the trash collector does. Like microwave ovens, satellite dishes are an e-waste wonderland, and just ...
