This article presents the results of theoretical study of the radio-photon mixer of microwave signals. The expressions have been obtained to find levels of combinational components in the optical and radio frequency ranges. The results of experimental investigation of the spectral composition of optical and radio frequency signals in the radio-photon mixer have been given.
