A method and apparatus are disclosed for transmitting communication signals through a multi-mode power amplifier. For at least some embodiments, a communication signal may be amplified by an amplifier of the multi-mode power amplifier selected based on a desired transmit output power. The output of the selected amplifier may be coupled through a configurable inductive element to an antenna. The inductive element may be configured as a balun or as an inductive load element based on an operating mode of the multi-mode power amplifier.
