Method of effectuating frequency switching by using two self-oscillating frequency reducers having a common input

摘要

A method of effectuating frequency switching by using two self-oscillating frequency reducers having a common input includes the use of a three-way coupler to connect two field effect transistors (or two bipolar junction field effect transistors) and two dielectric resonator oscillators between a low-noise amplifier and an intermediate frequency (IF) amplifier, so as to effectuate switching between different frequency ranges. Thus, a simplified switch circuit for switching frequencies is possible to enable reduced manufacturing cost and reduced volume of device.
