10.63: Determine the IF power, in watts, exiting a mixer that has a 6.
0 dB conversion
loss if 0 dBm of RF power and of LO power enters the mixer.
                                                                     ⎛P      ⎞
Setup: This is a straightforward application of (10.87): CL = 10 log ⎜ RF    ⎟.
                                                                     ⎝ PIF   ⎠
Solution:
            ⎛P      ⎞          PRF                        P    1mW
CL = 10 log ⎜ RF    ⎟ = 6dB,       = 100.6 = 3.981, PIF = RF =       = 0.25mW
            ⎝ PIF   ⎠          PIF                       3.981 3.981
