    Abstract: An electronic device may include transceivers, radio-frequency front end (RFFE) circuitry, antennas, and a feedback receiver. The RFFE circuitry may include power amplifier (PA) modules that each transmits radio-frequency signals in a corresponding group of frequency bands. The modules may include power amplifiers, a band selection switch, and an antenna selection switch coupled to the band selection switch over a signal path. A radio-frequency coupler may be disposed on the signal path between the band selection switch and the antenna selection switch. A PA module may include a feedback receiver aggregation switch. The aggregation switch may be coupled to the radio-frequency coupler on its PA module and radio-frequency coupler(s) on other PA modules over feedback paths. The aggregation switch may pass coupled signals from the couplers to the feedback receiver for measurement.
