🔍 Key Concepts

• Superheterodyne receiver operation and the role of the mixer • What happens when a nonlinear circuit is overdriven by too much input signal • The meaning of spurious products and intermodulation in RF circuits

💭 Think About

• Think about what a mixer does with two input frequencies under normal conditions, and how that changes if the mixer is driven far beyond its linear range. • Which of the options describes an effect that would create extra, unintended output frequencies rather than simply turning the mixer off or making it slowly drift? • Consider which effects are common design concerns in radio receivers when very strong signals are present near the desired frequency.

✅ Before You Answer

• Review how a mixer ideally produces sum and difference frequencies of its inputs, and what additional outputs appear when nonlinearity increases. • Check which choice refers specifically to unwanted frequency outputs instead of a general instability or shutdown. • Verify which term is commonly used in receiver design texts when discussing strong-signal behavior and interference from nearby channels.
