In fact, there often are several local
oscillators in a radio-observatory. At the Plateau de Bure
Interferometer, two of them are used to stop both the signal and image
tuned frequencies. This was useful at the time when the 1mm receivers
were double-sideband and the sideband separation was obtained with Walsh
phase modulation/demodulation.
