Abstract
Large signal analysis of mixers excited by three tone signals is presented. The special case of two equal-amplitude sinusoids plus a difference-frequency injection is considered in detail and the results are compared, whenever possible, with previously published results. Contrary to previously published results, it is shown that even under large signal conditions and strong nonlinearity it is possible, at least in theory, to totally eliminate the third-order intermodulation when the amplitudes of the equal-amplitudes input sinusoids and the difference-frequency injection are equal.
