Understanding the Local Oscillator in a Receiver

Introduction to Local Oscillators A local oscillator (LO) is a fundamental component in communication systems and electronic signal processing. It generates a consistent oscillating signal, essential for the process of frequency conversion within a receiver. The basic principle underlying a local oscillator involves producing a stable, sinusoidal waveform at a specific frequency, which interacts with …
