Why is the Local Oscillator Frequency Always Higher than the Signal Frequency?
Introduction to Local Oscillator and Signal Frequency A local oscillator (LO) is a critical component in communication systems, serving as a stable frequency source that aids in the process of frequency conversion. Its primary role is to generate a signal that, when mixed with an incoming signal, produces new frequencies—specifically, the sum and difference of …
