[Elecraft] Intermod or mixing?>>>CORRECTION!

[Dick Roth, KA1OZ]

Regarding Intermod, I misspoke when stating that there was a harmonic 
relationship.  I meant to say a relationship between the sum and 
difference frequencies that yield products up and down the band spaced 
these difference frequencies.

Sorry,

Dick



Mixing is a general term for combining any two or more signals through 
the process of heterodyning.

Intermod is a specific form of mixing which combines harmonic products 
of two RF signals:  the desired receive signal and an undesired, 
accidental signal, yielding a series of harmonically related RF 
byproducts that can impair the receive pass band.

I hope I stated this correctly and that it helps to differentiate the 
two terms adequately.
