Image Frequency Calculation Tool

A self-explaining tool is available to visualize the frequency constraints discussed up to now. It makes the estimation of the image frequency influences much easier. Based on the input frequency, the tool displays the desired frequency band and the resultant image component. For multi-band applications, it is important to know the conditions of the application. It is essential that the image frequency band of one channel not overlap with another channel. If this is not avoided, it is possible that the desired signal will be received on the image of another channel. In this case, the message content might not be usable. The following figure illustrates the self-explaining tool.
