A transmitter includes a combiner (102) for combining plural data signal sets (I1, Q1; I2, Q2) into a single set of data signals (I', Q'). An I/Q modulator (106) modulates the single sets of data signals onto for example an intermediate frequency (IF) carrier signal. A frequency upconverter converts the frequency of the IF signal to a radio frequency signal which, when amplified in a power amplifier, is transmitted via antenna. Using the present invention, plural sets of quadrature modulated signals separated in frequency are transmitted on a single RF carrier rather than on two carriers.
