Abstract
Disclosed herein is a passive, voltage mode transmitter assembly and method of operation. The passive, voltage mode transmitter assembly comprises a baseband filter configured to filter a source baseband signal, a harmonics filter, connected to the baseband filter, configured to remove harmonics from the filtered, source baseband signal, a passive, voltage mode mixer, connected to the harmonics filter, configured to up-convert an output of the harmonics filter to a radio signal, and a power amplifier, connected to the passive, voltage mode mixer, configured to amplify the radio signal.
