Once installed, this library turns your PC into a genuine RF lab. You can bias the transconductance cell, tweak the carrier feedthrough null, and observe envelope distortion – without burning through a single chip or soldering a messy breadboard. Close any open Proteus ISIS instances

Why? The MC1496 relies on balanced transistor pairs and internal current sources. Creating a perfect SPICE model for it is non-trivial. Many Proteus users instead substitute the NE612 (Gilbert cell mixer) or build discrete transistor circuits. However, these workarounds lack the exact behavior of the MC1496’s biasing flexibility. tweak the carrier feedthrough null
