The number of dB below the conversion loss level indicates the mixing products. The lower frequency mixing term is shown for two different input levels. The top number is for an RFIN power level of –19 dB; the lower number is for –29 dB. Assuming the LNA gain is approximately 14 dB, the mixer input will see approximately –5 dB and –15 dB. |mFRF - nFLO|, RF = -19 dB |mFRF - nFLO|, RF = -29 dB RF = 1850 MHz LO = 1710 MHz 15.
