    摘要: Aspects of this disclosure relate to a cascode circuit electrically coupled between an amplifier configured to amplify a radio frequency (RF) signal and different loads. The cascode circuit can function as a switch to selectively provide an output from the amplifier to a number of different loads. In certain embodiments, the cascode circuit can be electrically coupled between different stages of a multi-stage power amplifier. For instance, the amplifier can be a first stage of the multi-stage power amplifier and the different loads can include different power amplifier transistors of a second stage of the multi-stage amplifier. The cascode circuit can be implemented by bipolar transistors according to certain embodiments.
