Receiver Theory
The receiver functional group consists of the following assemblies:
• A4 sampler/mixer
• A5 sampler/mixer
• A6 sampler/mixer
• A10 digital IF
These assemblies combine with the A9 CPU (described in
"Digital Control Theory" on
page
12-9) to measure and process input signals into digital information for display on the
analyzer.
Figure 12-10
is a simplified block diagram of the receiver functional group. The
A12 reference assembly is also included in the illustration to show how the 2nd LO signal
is derived.
