Guys - any idea on how to measure the image frequency and
IF rejection ratio say your in band is 98MHz.
Thanks.

Measure your desired IF signal.
Apply the image frequency at the input and then measure the image IF.

More specifically if the IF is 10.7MHz, then set the sig gen
to 98MHz and note a reference level immediately after the IF filter
stage. Avoid taking a level any further down the IF chain, as the presumably
FM receiver will have a nonlinear limiter.
Set the generator
frequency to 21.4 MHz above or below the 98MHz channel, eg 76.6MHz and
increase the level of the generator until it reaches the previous level.
Note the attenuator level setting difference. This is the Image Rejection
ratio in dB
Set the generator to 10.7MHz and repeat the measurement.
The attenuator difference is the IF rejection.
All best

Thank you Guys.
I dont have the attenuator so this is what
I did.
First measure the direct inject sensitivity at operating freq.
and inject the image - the difference is my ratio. same thing on 10.7MHz
for IF.
Thanks again.
