Design Issues
Since the selectivity of the RF amplifier is very important,
an extra LC resonant tank circuit can be used at the
input of the amplifier to increase the overall selectivity.

From LO
A mixer is a device that converts a signal from one frequency to another. Most high frequency receivers
use a mixer to down convert the received RF signal to an intermediate frequency (IF) signal. A mixer in
RF systems always refers to a circuit with a non-linear component that causes sum and difference
frequencies of the input signals to be generated. The mixer is achieved by applying the local oscillator
(LO) signal to one mixer port and the Radio Frequency (RF) signal to the other port.

Design Issues
Ground loops can present noise and humming issue in the mixer circuitry. For this reason,
transformers can be used for the RF and LO signal inputs.
