Abstract: A method for single side band transmissions begins by mixing, in a current domain, an in-phase component of outbound formatted data with an in-phase component of a local oscillation to produce a first mixed signal. The method continues by mixing, in the current domain, a quadrature phase component of the outbound formatted data with a quadrature component of the local oscillation to produce a second mixed signal. The method continues by summing the first and second mixed signals to produce a radio frequency signal. The method continues by amplifying the radio frequency signal prior to transmission.

Abstract: A single side band transmitter having reduced DC offset includes a current source modulation module, a current mirror module, a 1st mixing module, a 2nd mixing module, a summing module, and a power amplifier. The current source module is operably coupled to modulate, in accordance with a modulation protocol (e.g., FSK) data to produce an in-phase current component and a quadrature current component. The current mirror module is operably coupled to mirror the in-phase current component to produce a mirrored in-phase current component and is also operably coupled to mirror the quadrature current component to produce a mirrored quadrature current component. The 1st mixing module is operably coupled to mix the mirrored in-phase current component with an in-phase current component of a local oscillation to produce a 1st mixed current signal.
