An explicit solution is obtained for the four-wave frequency mixing omega(d
)= omega(a) - omega(b) + omega(c) Of two strong fields a and c and two weak
fields b and d in a four-level system with large Doppler broadening in col
linear geometry: where the frequencies of weak fields are nearly equal, ome
ga(b) similar or equal to omega(d), and the medium is optically thin. Witho
ut weak fields there are two independent two-level systems. A pair of weak
fields probes two other allowed transitions. A peak of the mixing coefficie
nt as a function of intensity is found around an equal Rabi splitting of bo
th two-level systems. The effect is based on a resonance between two closed
cycles of four-wave mixing via different dressed states. Three, four, or s
ix peaks are predicted in the dependence of the mixing coefficient on the f
requency of the weak field; two of them are a consequence of averaging over
velocities. The model allows an interpretation of the dependence of the ou
tput wave power on the intensity and detuning in recent experiments on freq
uency mixing in sodium vapor. [S1050-2947(99)06401-X].
