These three signals are output to the input end of the second mixer circuit through D16.

[0074] The schematic diagram of the second mixer circuit is as follows: Fig.13 The three signals are adjusted in frequency response by D18 electronic attenuator, and then mixed for the second time by N21 (IDT-F1792 mixer) (mixer gain is about 10dB) to output intermediate frequency signal 76.8MHz (wideband) or 70MHz (narrowband).

[0075] When the IDT-F1792 mixer performs a second mixing on the input intermediate frequency filter signal, a third local oscillator signal is used.
