Summary
Apply the same sine wave to both signal and carrier inputs. The output should be a DC-offset cosine wave at double the frequency (frequency doubling). Test the model’s linearity by sweeping the input amplitude. Proteus Mc1496 Lib

| Feature | Supported? | Remarks |
|---------|------------|---------|
| DC Operating Point | ✅ Yes | Works well with proper supply decoupling |
| Transient Analysis | ✅ Yes | Shows modulation waveforms accurately |
| AC Frequency Sweep | ⚠️ Partial | Limited at >10 MHz due to simplified model |
| Fourier / Spectrum | ✅ Yes | Use Analogue Graph or Frequency probe |
| Noise Analysis | ❌ No | Model lacks noise parameters |
| Temperature Sweep | ❌ No | Not implemented in default library model |
