Method and apparatus for providing an amplified modulated radio frequency
signal, the method comprising the steps of providing a radio frequency
(RF) oscillatory signal, generating from the RF oscillatory signal and an
input signal a pair of phase modulated phase conjugated signals, and
summing the pair of signals to provide the desired modulated RF signal
output. A form of the invention is applied to digital modulation using
in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) input signals. Each of the I and Q
signals is processed in a respective channel, with the channel outputs
being summed. The channels share an RF oscillatory signal, which is phase
shifted by 90 degrees within the Q channel.
