Near zero intermediate frequency (NZIF) compensation of local oscillator leakage

A communications system comprising:

• a first transmitter electrically coupled to a first antenna of a phased array antenna, wherein the first transmitter is configured to receive an input signal to be transmitted, apply a first baseband frequency shift to the input signal to generate a first baseband frequency shifted input signal, generate a first modulated signal based on the first baseband frequency shifted input signal, and transmit the first modulated signal by the first antenna, wherein a frequency of the first baseband frequency shifted input signal comprises a near zero intermediate frequency (NZIF);
• and
• a second transmitter electrically coupled to a second antenna of the phased array antenna, wherein the second transmitter is configured to receive the input signal to be transmitted, apply a second baseband frequency shift, different from the first baseband frequency shift, to the input signal to generate a second baseband frequency shifted input signal, generate a second modulated signal based on the second baseband frequency shifted input signal, and transmit the second modulated signal by the second antenna.
