A radio frequency transmitter includes an upconverter that outputs in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) signals, a digital timing offset circuit, first and second digital-to-analog converters (DACs), an analog timing offset removal circuit, first and second pulse shapers, and an adder. The digital timing offset circuit introduces a time offset between the I and Q signals. The first and second DACs output analog I and Q signals, respectively, and have first and second clock signals, respectively. The first and second clock signals have the same frequency and are offset relative to each other by the time offset. The analog timing offset removal circuit removes the time offset between the analog I and Q signals. The first and second pulse shapers receive the analog I and Q signals, respectively, and output pulse-shaped I and Q signals. The adder receives the pulse-shaped I and Q signals and outputs an intermediate frequency signal.
