Mathematical
The Mixer block generates a complex baseband model of the following:
A mixer
A local oscillator with phase noise whose spectrum is characterized by a 1/f slope
The Mixer block includes both the IF and RF signals as complex-baseband equivalent signals. Both the IF and RF center frequencies are represented as 0 hertz. The amplitude of the noise spectrum is specified by the noise power contained in a 1-hertz bandwidth offset from the carrier by a specified frequency.
Note This block assumes a nominal impedance of 1 ohm. |
The block applies the phase noise to the signal as follows:
Generates additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and filters it with a digital filter.
Adds the resulting phase noise to the angle component of the input signal.
You can view the block's implementation of phase noise by right-clicking the block and selecting Look under mask from the pop-up menu. The following figure shows the implementation.
You can view the construction of the Noise Source subsystem by double-clicking it.
You can change parameters that are marked as tunable in the following descriptions while the model is running.
Scalar specifying the conversion gain for the mixer. Use a negative value to specify loss. Tunable.
Scalar specifying the phase noise level in decibels relative to the carrier, per hertz. Tunable.
Scalar specifying the frequency offset. Tunable.
Nonnegative integer specifying the initial seed for the random number generator the block uses to generate noise.
