Spur Charts and Tables

RF Spur Charts and Spur Tables

Analog Devices Inc

This tutorial will present an overview of the use of spur charts and tables to predict the performance of down-converting RF mixers. It will review the common problems associated with applying spur charts and how to overcome these issues. The presentation will highlight the performance of a typical down-converting RF mixer and discuss concerns of interfering signals and the intermodulation from these interfering signals.
