The degree of curvature of the grounded-grid section then determines the degree of stage gain compares more than favorably with pentodes, and it may have applied. Mixer tracking, instability and oscillator pulling diffi-culties experienced by the authors were to be expected underthe conditions of nonisolation used. A mixer capable of goodgain (approximately 14 times at 30 Mc.) with quiet opera-tion is shown in Fig. 2.^ This circuit has good isolation fromthe oscillator. Circuit gain is independent of oscillator in-jection-voltage change. An alternative oscillator to that used by the authors isshown in Fig. 3. This circuit overcomes switching difficulties OSC.
