Title: Multi phase LO generation
Post by petitivoire on Feb 23^rd, 2016, 9:42pm

Can an RF person explain why we need multi-phase LO generation for the mixer.

I can't find an introductory resource on the subject. Any textbook reference would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Quadrature mixers (I and Q) is what comes to mind here.
