Methods and apparatus providing high efficiency power amplifiers for both high and low output power levels
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for providing high efficiency power amplifiers for both high and low output power levels are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a first amplifier to amplify a signal from a host device; and transmit the amplified signal to an antenna; a second amplifier to amplify the signal from the host device; and transmit the amplified signal to the antenna; and first, second, and third switches to: when the first and second switches are closed and the third switch is open, couple the first amplifier to the second amplifier in a parallel structure; and when the first and second switches are open and the third switch is closed, couple the first amplifier to the second amplifier in a stacked structure.
