Understanding the Role of the Local Oscillator in a Receiver
Introduction to Local Oscillators A local oscillator (LO) is an integral component in electronic communication systems, serving as a stable frequency generator. This frequency is mixed with the incoming signal to produce an intermediate frequency that is easier to process within a receiver. The local oscillator’s role is pivotal in the heterodyne receiver architecture, where …
