Abstract
James B. Rudd has described a doublemixing circuit which transfers a signal of unstable frequency to a new frequency determined by a stable local oscillator. It is shown that the signal-to-noise ratio at the output of this circuit is related to the signal-to-noise ratio at the input in about the same way as these ratios are related in a square-law detector. The choice of one of the circuit parameters for arbitrary input noise spectrum is also discussed.
