A radio frequency (RF) receiver front-end includes an low noise amplifier (LNA) module, a current domain mixing module, and a buffer module. The LNA module is coupled to amplify an inbound RF signal to produce an amplified inbound RF current signal. The current domain mixing module is coupled to mix the amplified inbound RF current signal with a local oscillation to produce a mixed current signal. The buffer module is coupled to provide a baseband or near baseband voltage signal from the mixed current signal.
