Question: For the sets of two input frequencies given below (all in the FM broadcast band), when these are applied to an RF amplifier that has

For the sets of two input frequencies given below (all in the FM broadcast band), when these are applied to an RF amplifier that has both a linear voltage gain and a second-order output, i.e.,

Vout(t) = Av * Vin + b * Vin^2

where

Vin(t) = Av * cos(w1t) + A2 * cos(w2t)

f1 = 87.9 MHz, f2 = 88.1 MHz

f1 = 107.7 MHz, f2 = 107.9 MHz

f1 = 87.9 MHz, f2 = 107.9 MHz

Find and list all the second-order output frequencies produced by the mixer defined by Vout.

Now add to the two terms in the Vout(t) defined in the previous problem a third-order term, so that:

Vout(t) = Av * Vin + b * Vin^2 + cVin^3

subject to the same two-tone input as before:

Vin = A1 * cos(w1t) + A2 * cos(w2t)

at the following frequencies:

f1 = 87.9 MHz, f2 = 88.1 MHz

f1 = 107.7 MHz, f2 = 107.9 MHz

f1 = 87.9 MHz, f2 = 107.9 MHz

f1 = 97.9 MHz, f2 = 98.1 MHz

Find the third-order output frequencies, and identify those which could be problematic given the width of the established FM broadcast band (87.9 to 107.9 MHz).
