    Abstract: In an embodiment, a communications system includes a first transmitter including a digital beamforming baseband section configured to receive an input signal to be transmitted, the input signal at a baseband frequency, and a modulation section electrically coupled to the digital beamforming baseband section and a first antenna of a phased array antenna. The modulation section is configured to receive a local oscillator signal at a first local oscillator frequency and apply a baseband frequency shift to the input signal to generate a baseband frequency shifted input signal. The modulation section generates a modulated signal based on the input signal. The communication system includes a second transmitter included in a second IC chip of the plurality of IC chips electrically coupled to a second antenna and configured to provide a second modulated signal at the carrier frequency and a second LO leakage signal at a second local oscillator frequency.

    Abstract: In an embodiment, a communications system includes a transmitter including a digital beamforming baseband section including a digital mixer, the digital beamforming section configured to receive an input signal to be transmitted, the input signal at a baseband frequency; and a modulation section electrically coupled to the digital beamforming baseband section, the modulation section including an up converter configured to receive a local oscillator signal at a local oscillator frequency. The digital mixer is configured to apply a baseband frequency shift to the input signal to generate a baseband frequency shifted input signal at a different frequency from the baseband frequency. The up converter is configured to up convert the baseband frequency shifted input signal based on the local oscillator signal to generate a modulated signal at a carrier frequency, wherein the local oscillator frequency is different from the carrier frequency.
