Abstract
The invention relates to a mixer for generating an analog output signal XOUT from an analog input signal XIN using a mixing signal having a mixing frequency fMIX, the mixer comprising: a scaler being configured to sample the analog input signal XIN at a plurality of discrete points in time k with a sampling frequency fS to obtain a sampled analog input signal XIN[k] having a continuous signal value, and to generate the analog output signal XOUT having a continuous signal value by scaling the sampled analog input signal XIN[k] on the basis of a plurality of scaling coefficients A[k], wherein the scaling coefficients A[k] are a time-discrete representation of the mixing signal.
