The current being "copied" can be, and sometimes is, a varying signal current. Conceptually, an ideal current mirror is simply an ideal inverting current amplifier that reverses the current direction as well, or it could consist of a current-controlled current source (CCCS).
In practice the ideal current source is replaced by a current mirror, which is less ideal in two ways.First, its AC resistance is large, but not infinite. Second, the mirror requires a small voltage drop to maintain operation (to keep the output transistors of the mirror in active mode).
This is the only first order source of mismatch in the three-transistor Wilson current mirror [8] Second, at high currents the current gain, β, of transistors decreases and the relation of collector current to base-emitter voltage deviates from = (). The severity of these effects depends on the collector voltage.
An ideal current source generates a current that is independent of the voltage changes across it. An ideal current source is a mathematical model, which real devices can approach very closely. If the current through an ideal current source can be specified independently of any other variable in a circuit, it is called an independent current source.

The current mirror copies the left collector current and passes it through the right transistor that produces the right collector current. At this right output of the differential amplifier, the two signal currents (pos. and neg. current changes) are subtracted. In this case (differential input signal), they are equal and opposite.
