Q&A Diodes used in mixers

Suppose we have this circuit which is supposed to be an unbalanced frequency mixer. But how does the diode generate a signal with new frequencies at the output?

Fixed the question formation - missing auxiliary (or helping) verb - see e.g. <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4yWEt0OSpg&t=1m49s> (see also <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kS5NfSzXfrI> (QUASM)).

  • How can a diode be used to create an unbalanced frequency mixer?The article on Wikipedia doesnt explain it very much because it doesnt say how 2 signals can be the inputs for the unbalanced mixer which will create the new frequencies.Any help?
