Low Frequency Mixer
« on: July 01, 2022, 09:11:14 pm »
I've been looking around for chip mixers to implement a low frequency (100kHz-1MHz) lock in amplifier. Seems like in RF that 0GHz starts somewhere around 70MHz. The other way I can think to do it would be a dual-gate FET or the heavy-HAM way of a transistor-with-transformer circuit. Hopefully I'm not seeing the obvious?

There are very popular ICs here. Select a appropriate one.

AD633 multiplier

Think the MC1496 is still available. That's a gilbert cell so will go to DC. Also SA612.

Depends what's driving it etc really.

Instead of a mixer look for an analog multiplier.

-hp- used the 1496 balanced modulator IC in their low-frequency spectrum analyzers and selective voltmeters.
