Note Output impedance and input impedance of Buff2 are 2 kΩ and 30 kΩ, respectively.
MIX2 (Q201 to Q208) is a DBM with a configuration similar to that of MIX1.
The major difference from the MIX1 is that MIX2 is equipped with a current control circuit for output and is controlled
by the AGC.
Input impedance of MIX2 is 330 Ω to match the 10.7 MHz ceramic filter. Output impedance of Buff2 is 2 kΩ to
match the 450 kHz ceramic filter.
IF signal input from pin 23 is also input to the detector of the RF AGC. The RF AGC is detected by both MIX1 and
MIX2 blocks.
The Buff1 and Buff2 ensure impedance matching between MIX1 and MIX2 outputs and each ceramic filter. As
a result, IFT design is not restricted by the need to match ceramic filter impedance. For turn ratio, etc., only conversion
gain need be taken input account, so it is easy to design.
