Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) includes a transmit chain that includes multiple radio frequency transmitters, multiple power amplifiers and a front end (FE) through which signals are transmitted. To achieve a high power UE solution, aspects of the disclosure selectively combine two or more power amplifier outputs based on an expected power output of the UE. To synchronously combine the outputs, an output feedback signal from a feedback receiver is used to adjust a delay and a phase of one or more signals associated with the power amplifiers.
