In the type of mixer used in radio receivers, radar receivers, and similar systems, a signal is translated upward or downward in frequency. The basic property of such a device is that its output is not directly proportional to its input, but to the product of its inputs; when signals of different frequencies are applied to such a device, the output contains not only the original frequencies but also frequencies equal to the sum and difference of the original frequencies. Desired components in the output can be separated from the others by a suitable filter, and any modulationmodulation,in communications, process in which some characteristic of a wave (the carrier wave) is made to vary in accordance with an information-bearing signal wave (the modulating wave); demodulation is the process by which the original signal is recovered from the wave .....

In the type of mixer used, for example, to combine the outputs of several microphones into a single channel, several signals are combined to produce an output proportional to their sum. Each of the input signals usually passes through a potentiometerpotentiometer. 1 Manually adjustable, variable, electrical resistor. It has a resistance element that is attached to the circuit by three contacts, or terminals. The ends of the resistance element are attached to two input voltage conductors of the circuit, and the third .....

Mixer(in metallurgy), a container for collecting molten pig iron discharged from blast furnaces before further treatment in the molten state in steel-smelting units. Mixers were first introduced in 1889 by the American metallurgist W. R. Jones. Mixers make possible continuous operation of steel foundries. Equilibration of the chemical composition and temperature of the pig iron takes place in mixers. In addition, in active mixers the pig iron is heated, and a number of impurities (mainly sulfur) are partially removed. The cylindrical or barrel-shaped housing of a mixer, which is mounted on a frame, is made of plate steel and lined with fire-brick; it has a neck for receiving the pig iron from the ladles and a spout for pouring off the pig iron into the ladle when the mixer is tipped by a special mechanism. The most common mixers in the USSR have a capacity of 1,300 tons. Mixerin agriculture, a machine that mixes different feeds and prepares poisoned bait and bulk peat-humus.mixtures. Feed mixers may be classified in various ways: according to the type of feed (dry or wet), according to the operating principle (continuous or batch operation), or according to the design of the working element (auger, blade, drum, or propeller mixers). Other types may use horizontal or vertical shafts. The USSR produces continuous-action mixers with screw and combination working elements for mixing dry feeds. These mixers operate in combination with dosing units that supply the mixed feeds in designated proportions and transporting mechanisms that carry the initial components and the finished mixture. The working elements of the screw mixer are either screws of various shapes or a shaft with short blades. As they rotate inside a closed trough, the screws or shaft mix the feeds vigorously and move the prepared mixture toward the outlet hatch. Moist and semiliquid feed mixtures are prepared in mixers equipped with steam-conducting collectors that supply steam to a mixing chamber (Figure 1). In these mixers the feed mixture is subjected to heat treatment (steaming) as it is mixed. The working elements are driven by an electric motor. Poisoned bait mixers (Figure 2) prepare poisoned mixtures from grain, zinc phosphide, and oil. Such mixtures are used to control susliks, small rodents, and harmful insects. The grain passes from a bin through a dosing device into the trough of an auger mixer. The oil flows from a tank through a regulating
valve and moistens the grain; and the auger then mixes the grain and the oil. The poison is applied to the moistened grain, and the entire mass is mixed again by the auger. The prepared bait is then poured into containers. The working elements are driven by a 3-kilowatt electric motor.
The bulk peat-humus mixer prepares a mixture of peat, humus, and other components, which is used in potting seedlings of agricultural crops, such as vegetables and melons. This unit has a mixing chamber with an auger, into which the initial components and water are fed, and an unloading device. It is usually operated in combination with a seedling pot machine. The working parts are driven by a 2.8-kilowatt electric motor. Mixerin engineering: (1) A machine for mixing various substances to the required degree of homogeneity. Examples include asphalt and concrete mixers, mortar mixers, and mixers used in agriculture. (2) A device that is a part of a frequency converter, such as a superheterodyne radio receiver. Such a device is used to convert oscillations having the frequency of the received signal to oscillations having an intermediate frequency. Such mixers consist of an electronic component, such as a transistor, diode, varactor, or vacuum tube, and a filter that selects oscillations having the converted frequency. This frequency is obtained as a linear combination—most frequently the difference—of the frequencies of the received radio signal and of a heterodyne contained in the receiver, oscillations from this heterodyne are fed to the mixer, which, because of its nonlinear characteristics, changes the parameters of the radio signal. With respect to the received signal, which is usually weak, the mixer acts as a linear electric circuit with parameters that change periodically with the heterodyne frequency. (3) A device with several inputs and a common output, used for mixing several electrical signals. Such mixers are often used in broadcasting and sound recording. They make it possible to mix signals received from several microphones and to obtain a mixture of sounds, for instance, speech against a background of music. mixer[′mik·sər]MixerA device with two or more signal inputs and one common output. The two primary classes are linear (additive) and nonlinear (multiplicative) mixers. Linear mixers are used to add or blend together two or more signals, nonlinear mixers mainly to shift the spectrum (center frequency) of one signal by the frequency of a second signal. Linear mixing is the process of combining signals additively, such as the summing of audio signals in a recording studio. This operation can be accomplished passively by simply using a resistive summing network. Although this approach appears very economical, there is a loss in signal strength and an interaction of the signal amplitudes as the gains are adjusted. Inexpensive integrated circuits have improved this application dramatically. Operational amplifiers of reasonably high quality that will eliminate the adjustment interactions and also provide gain are readily available. The input signals are summed into the virtual ground summing node at the input of the operational amplifier. There is a sign change in the output, but that is a small drawback compared to the advantage of having the virtual ground provided by the operational amplifier. See Amplifier, Integrated circuits, Operational amplifier Perhaps the most familiar application of nonlinear mixers is in radio and television receivers. They are widely used in such applications as amplitude modulation (AM) and demodulation, frequency demodulation, phase detection, frequency multiplication, and single-sideband (SSB) generation. The incoming information to a receiver has been transmitted and received at a frequency far too high to permit efficient amplification and processing. Therefore the signal is translated or frequency-shifted or heterodyned by a mixer to a lower frequency, known as the intermediate frequency (IF), where amplification and processing are performed efficiently by an IF processor, sometimes referred to as the IF strip. See Amplitude-modulation detector, Amplitude modulator, Frequency-modulation detector, Frequency modulator A second application of a nonlinear mixer is frequency synthesis, where a stable but not easily changed signal at a high frequency is made tunable by mixing it with an easily tunable signal at a low frequency, which, perhaps, can be varied in precise increments of any size. The utility of the method is limited by the ability to filter or separate one frequency term from another, thereby determining the minimum practical value of low frequency for the application. A mixer is an integral part of an AM-radio integrated circuit which contains virtually all AM-radio functions except filters. A particular type of mixer, the quadrature detector, is included in the frequency-modulation (FM)-radio integrated circuit. mixermixerSee MX mixer
