Re: Searching for IMD
Warren, Thank you for that precise explanation, I now understand where the IMD is coming from. So at this point do you recommend the I/O transformers on the additional 45Mhz filter replacing R27? If

Re: Searching for IMD
You can do that but the first mixer is adding no IMD and the second only 5 dB. Between the two bidirectional amps there is at least 15 and perhaps 20 dB of IMD added. The amplifiers are the primary

What about buffering the three S15351 outputs on the Raduino board with three 74LVC1G04GW's as suggested earlier by Jerry and Allison (and add ferrite choke power filters) ? 73 Kees K5BCQ

Re: si5351 crosstalk

I suspect it is more critical that we have sufficient drive into the mixer LO port than to have that 6dB 50 ohm pad. This sort of thing is best evaluated by somebody with a spectrum analyzer. A series

Re: si5351 crosstalk

So what is the impedance the mixer is seeing for the clock from the si5351? The only claim I saw for the si5351 was an output resistance of 85 ohms if the drive is set to 8MA. Assuming it doesn't have

Re: si5351 crosstalk

Diode ring mixers are messy. The port driven by the local oscillator will have unwanted mixer products coming out of it. Using a 6dB attenuator, most of that junk coming back out will get absorbed by

What's the reason to? set-up the Si5351 to maximum drive @ "8 mA" ,3.3 V (Output Driver close to 50 Ohms at 1.65V per IBIS models ) just to send through a? series resistor, then to a? 50 ohm 6 dB
