This page describes the 1st Mixer for the DIY Spectrum Analyzer.

Summary

Schematic for the rev0VTx VCO.
Board for the rev0VTx VCO.

The 1st Mixer is based around the [1] 1MHz-6GHz Wideband Active Mixer. The first mixer upconverts the input of 30MHz-2.5GHz to a fixed 3.5GHz IF via the 1st LO of 3.53-6GHz. The PCB includes a JA4220 wideband balun with an input match for 30MHz-3GHz, and an IF output match and lumped-element balun for 3.5GHz.
