A double balanced mixer employing Schottky diodes with an IF response extending to dc is the usual choice for low noise systems
For frequency offsets in the range [20Hz, 20kHz] a PC sound card can be used as the spectrum analyser. A stereo card even allows cross correlation techniques to be employed to reduce the system noise floor.
For frequency offsets below 20Hz a dc coupled analyser is useful. Either an ADC card with suitable software or an actual spectrum analyser can be used.
For frequency offsets greater than 20kHz, either a spectrum analyser or a wide bandwidth high resolution ADC can be used (with suitable software).
