Bhatnagar san, 
I originally used just one. The lo leakage was substantial. So I have switched 
to two. 
It is imp that the lo be prevented from getting into the linear chain. That's 
why have two lpfs before the pa.

Subject: [minima] One LPF for minima

Do we need two sets of LPF ? If the mixer is working reasonably well, then
only one LPF at the antenna should suffice.

Rx chain ->  Ant -> LPF -> Mixer....
Tx chain ... Mixer -> PA -> LPF -> Ant

We may perhaps use a one stage lpf at the PA input if essential.

Any thoughts.

Happy minimimg,
