You need to understand a circuit called a doubly balanced mixer. It multiplies two signals together and produces components at the original two frequencies, (1 kHz, 1 MHz.). It also produces components that are the sum and difference of the two frequencies. These are called the upper and lower sidebands. They are at 1.001 MHz. and at 0.999 MHz.
Now, for the $64,000 question -- what happens when you run the upper sideband at 1.001 MHz. and local oscillator of 1.000 MHz. through the multiplier? What comes out?
