That depends on what kind of a system the local oscillator is part of. In a simple AM receiver, it's typically 455 KHz above the frequency of the incoming signal of interest. In a consumer FM radio, that figure is 10.7 MHz above. In a 'legacy' analog microwave receiver, it's almost always spaced 70 MHz from the received carrier, and since the ubiquitous advent of split-mount digital microwave equipment, with the RF system clamped to the antenna, there's no telling any more ... you always have to look in the book (if that information is even included in the book).

What is a local oscillation?
A local oscillator is used in a superheterodyne radio circuit for example.The incoming radio frequency is mixed with an internal local oscillator circuit to generate a new intermediate frequency (IF) .The local oscillator usually runs at a frequency of 470kHz and is generated by an inductor and capacitor(LC oscillator)
What is the difference between crystal and local oscillator?
oscillator frequency is different.crystal working piezo electric effect
What is the purpose of a local oscillator in mixer?
A local oscillator is a device that generates a sinusoidal signal with a frequency such that the receiver is able to generate the correct resulting frequency, or intermediate frequency (IF), for further amplification and conversion into audio detection. There is one local oscillator in a single conversion super heterodyne receiver where heterodyning or mixing is used to generate beat frequencies, which may be the sum or the difference of two frequencies. The local oscillator is usually adjustable and in step with the increment or decrement in the receiver frequency. For instance, if the receiver is tuned to 1,455 kilohertz (kHz) as radio frequency input (RF-in), the local oscillator frequency (LOF) may be set to 1,910 kHz for a so-called high side injection. The two signals are fed to an electronic device known as the mixer, which derives LOF - RF-in = IF or 455 kHz, which suggests why amplitude modulation (AM) broadcast receivers have about four stages of low-power amplifiers tuneable to 455 kHz.
What is the difference between local oscillator and oscillator?
Oscillator is a generic word for any circuit that produces an alternative signal. The shape of the signal, its stability and its output impedance are not considered in this case. "Local oscillator" is one specific type of oscillator used in radio receiver for the purpose of frequency conversion. the input Radio Frequency( RF ) signal is "mixed" with the local oscillator signal and the subtraction of two frequencies is obtained at the output. "Mixing" in this context means: "multiplication"\ In some other context in electronics (specially audio) mixing means "adding" the mathematical operation for local oscillator is F out=Fin - F loc.osc. The output of the mixing operation can also be Fin+F loc.Osc. But this higher frequency is usually filtered out. The local oscillator needs to be a pure sine wave with a very good frequency stability and usually very stable output voltage. Recently very good "synthesizers" are introduced in the market that permit generation "programmable local oscillation"

Why you convert FM signal to IF frequency?
Mix it with a local oscillator whose frequency is (the IF frequency) away from the frequency of the FM signal you're interested in.
What is function of an oscillator?
A local oscillator is an electronic device used to generate a signal normally for the purpose of converting a signal of interest to a different frequency using a mixer. This process of frequency conversion, also referred to as heterodyning, produces the sum and difference frequencies of the frequency of the local oscillator and frequency of the input signal of interest. These are the beat frequencies. Normally the beat frequency is associated with the lower sideband, the difference between the two.
How to calculate image frequency?
f (image) = 2 * f (local oscillator) + fc ................. if f ( l.o ) > fc f (image) = 2* f (local oscillator) - fc
The FM receiver is tuned 98.3 mhz if 10.7 mhz local oscillator frequency is?
The question probably should be, "If the FM receiver is tuned to 98.3MHz and the IF (intermediate frequency) is 10.7MHz, then what frequency is the local oscillator running at?" The answer would be 87.6MHz but i could be 109MHz and would still work. The local oscillator is mixed with the received signal and what comes out contains both the sum and the difference of the two frequencies. The amplifiers that follow are highly tuned to the IF and so only that frequency is amplified and demodulated by the receiver.
Which oscillator produces 1MHz frequency?
crystal oscillator
What is the use of local oscillator?
Trasmitting stations have their own transmitting frequency. No one can construct an amplifier which amplifies signals over a wide range. So every transmitting frequency has to be changed to one particular frequency. This is known as INTERMEDIATE frequency (IF) This is quite possible by getting beats. So a signal is to generated whose frequency is just more than the incoming frequency by IF This signal is named as local singnal which is generated by the LOCAL oscillator.
What is the basic function of tuning capacitors?
The "tuning capacitor" in a radio is involved in determining the frequency of an oscillator somewhere in the radio. As that capacitance is varied, the frequency of the oscillator changes. If the radio device is a transmitter, then the frequency on which it's transmitting changes. If the device is a radio receiver, then the frequency of the internal "local oscillator" determines the frequency that will be selected, out of everything coming down from the antenna, and then processed, detected, amplified, and filtered, for your listening pleasure.
