Here is a functionally identical ciruit using MPF102's EXCEPT they have no emitter/source resistor. http://www.seekic.com/circuit_diagram/Audio_Circuit/Mixer/SIMPLE_UTILITY_MI= XER.html Circuit diagram only Here is a RF mixer RF + LO to IF with commoned drains BUT they use dual gate FETs http://www.next.gr/uploads//112/Balanced-mixer-circuit-consisting-of-two-du= al-gate-field-effect-transistor-formed.png _________________ This not quite the same arrangement separates emitter but commons collectors - used as a colour channel separator in a mechanical TV system - sounds like a black hole :-) Circuit http://www.hawestv.com/mtv_color/colorize_images/inv_mixer.gif >From here _________ Event Horizon - mechanical TV page - legion http://www.hawestv.com/ --=20 http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
