Abstract
A power supply for a radio frequency (RF) power amplifier that amplifies an RF input signal into an RF output signal and a method of operation in the power supply. The power supply comprises a first power converter to convert an input voltage to the power supply into a first supply voltage of the RF power amplifier. The power supply comprises a second power converter to receive the input voltage and the first supply voltage and to selectively convert either the input voltage or the first supply voltage into at least a portion of a second supply voltage of the RF power amplifier.

A power supply for a radio frequency (RF) power amplifier that amplifies an RF input signal into an RF output signal, the power supply comprising:
- a first power converter to convert an input voltage to the power supply into a first supply voltage of the RF power amplifier;
- and
- a second power converter to receive the input voltage and the first supply voltage and to selectively convert either the input voltage or the first supply voltage into at least a portion of a second supply voltage of the RF power amplifier.
A method of operation in a power supply providing power to a radio frequency (RF) power amplifier that amplifies an RF input signal into an RF output signal, comprising:
- converting, by a first power converter, an input voltage to the power supply into a first supply voltage of the RF power amplifier;
- and
- selectively converting, by a first power converter, either the input voltage to the power supply or the first supply voltage of the RF power amplifier into at least a portion of a second supply voltage of the RF power amplifier.
