A transceiver for a portable radio communication apparatus comprising a receiver for receiving a signal at a received frequency and including a local oscillator, a transmitter being operable to transmit at a transmission frequency, said transmission frequency being offset from, and aligned to, the received frequency by a predetermined frequency spacing, the transmitter including a mixer having a first port for inputting said transmission frequency signal and a second port for inputting the local oscillator signal, and comprising means for rectifying the input local oscillator signal to provide a conductance waveform at a multiple of the local oscillator signal and means for mixing said transmission frequency signal with the conductance waveform at said multiple of the local oscillator signal frequency for down-converting the transmission frequency signal to an intermediate frequency signal.
