Carrier
OPERATING
Feedthrough
Carrier feedthrough
is defined as the output voltage at carrier
frequency with only the carrier applied (signal voltage = 0),
Carrier null is achieved by balancing the currents in the differential amplifier
by means of a bias trim potentiometer
(RI of
Figure 5).

Suppression
Carrier suppression is defined as the ratio of each sideband output to carrier output for the carrier and signal volt~e
levels specified.
Carrier suppression is very dependent on carrier input level, as
A low value of the carrier does not fully
shown in Figure 22.
switch the upper switching devices, and results in lower signal
gain, hence lower carrier suppression. A higher than optimum carrier level results in unnecessary device and circuit carrier feedThe
through,
which again degenerates the suppression figure.
MC1 596 has been characterized
with a 60 mV(rms)
sinewave
carrier input signal. This level provides optimum
carrier suppression at carrier frequencies
in the vicinity
of 500 kHz, and is
generally
recommended
for balanced
modulator
applications.
Carrier feedthrough
is independent
of signal level, Vs.
Thus
carrier suppression can be maximized
by operating with large signal levels. However, a linear operating mode must be maintained
in the signal-input transistor pair or harmonics of the modulating
signal will be generated and appear in the device output as spurious
sidebands of the suppressed carrier.
