[time-nuts] Quad Driven Mixer 5 to 10 MHz Doubler Article

Gentlemen-

I have my paper copy in front of me with the original article.
I am not certain that I can just scan it and send it around due to
ARRL & Author copyright matters.  But I am willing to scan it.

With all due respect to John, K6IQL the author who spent much time
on his design......I would opine that an equivalent doubler could be
made from the Wenzel doubler circuits that are on the Wenzel web
page and from first-hand experience...I used such a 5-to-10 MHz doubler
for all of my amateur radio projects up through 403GHz.

The K6IQL design, in brief, splits the 5MHz signal into two paths.
One passes to the LO port of a Double Balanced mixer, while the
second path goes through a 90-deg phase shift network and into the
RF port of that JMS-1MH mixer.  The output is taken from the IF
port. The output is then buffered & filtered. He spent much design effort
on the 90-deg phase shift network to keep it all temp stable.

Personally, I'm lazy and like the Wenzel "full wave rectifier" design with
a nice BPF on the output to obtain a clean 10MHz.

Only a small subset of QEX articles on available in digital format. This isn't one of them. We'll either need to get a copy from the author, or from a QEX subscriber.
